ST. PAUL, Minn.–– Itasca State Park in north-central Minnesota is the headwaters of the Mississippi River, and now is home for two Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union ATMs to serve members and all others visiting the park and region.
Affinity Plus said it has partnered with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to install the ATMs in the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center and the Mary Gibbs Mississippi Headwaters Center Gift Shop. The ATMs are cash-dispensing only, and all visitors may use the ATMs during the locations’ regular hours of operation.
Dave Larson, Affinity Plus President/CEO, said people might not immediately pair state park and credit union, “but it really is a natural fit. We have members across Minnesota who visit state parks, especially ones as beautiful and renowned as Itasca.”
In addition, all Minnesota state employees are eligible to be Affinity Plus members, Larson said.
“Affinity Plus has a decades-long history serving state employees across Minnesota, in locations near their workplaces,” he said. “So. we’re pleased we can serve all visitors to Itasca State Park as well as state employees there and at the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories.”
