APPLE VALLEY, Minn. – Wings Financial CU, the state’s largest credit union, this week opened its doors to more than 3 million people in the Twin Cities area, successfully switching from an airlines industry credit union.
The $2.2 billion credit union, chartered in 1938 to serve employees of Northwest Airlines, now serves the Minnesota counties of Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington and Wright, and the Wisconsin counties of Pierce and St. Croix.
"We are proud of our ties to the aviation industry," said Paul Parish, president of Wings. "Since 1938, we have been honored to provide financial services to many thousands of aviation professionals and their families. We will continue – and extend – our relationship with this vital industry. Our state charter gives us the ability to retain our aviation focus and at the same time to open our doors to the wider Twin Cities community."
