APPLE VALLEY, Minn.—Wings Financial Credit Union is sponsoring 36 Minnesota-based credit unions as part of the Credit Union Awareness program.
Washington-based Credit Union Awareness, which oversees the YourMoneyFurther.com site and which pioneered the “Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union” initiative, said Wings Financial CU is celebrating its fifth year as a participant, and in honor of the cooperative structure of credit unions is supporting the cycle of mutual assistance towards the “common goal of the financial well-being of credit union members.”
“I’m a big believer in the Awareness initiative and the true power of cooperative efforts,” said Frank Weidner, president and CEO of Wings Financial Credit Union. “We’re excited to make the awareness initiative accessible to more credit unions in Minnesota.”
Added Chris Lorence, executive director of CU Awareness, LLC, “We’ve seen firsthand the impact of credit unions coming together to raise awareness and consideration, Wings CU is now raising the bar in Minnesota to sponsor credit unions who can now reach more consumers in their communities.”
Benefits Being Seen
Mark Cummins, president and CEO of the Minnesota Credit Union Network, said the ongoing investment Minnesota’s credit unions have made to boost consumer awareness is paying benefits in growth and knowledge of consumers across the state.
“We are proud to be the first state to launch the national Credit Union Consumer Awareness Initiative in 2019 and since then, have seen both increased average membership growth and consumer familiarity of credit unions,” said Cummins. “We are excited about the opportunity to expand the program further with this sponsorship.”
