WOODBURY, Minn. – Ideal Credit Union has been named “Best Credit Union in the East Metro” for the third consecutive year by readers of the Stillwater Gazette newspaper.
Ideal became the first credit union to operate in the community in its 165 years of existence when its Stillwater branch opened for business in December of 2016. Ideal has had a strong presence in the east metro for 93 years.
“We are grateful for this honor to once again be named ‘Best Credit Union in the East Metro’ for the third year in a row, and proud to be Stillwater’s first credit union, bringing a more contemporary approach to traditional banking,” said Ideal CU President/CEO Brian Sherrick. “We appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the community as they embrace the ‘ideal’ difference and realize their dream to live the ideal life on their own terms through our friendly service and affordable financial solutions.”
From December 2016 to February 2019, over 5.166% of Ideal Credit Union’s total new direct membership growth came from the Stillwater office. Close to 3,000 Ideal CU members live by the Stillwater location, the credit union reported.
