President’s Message
The year was 1956.I am incredibly inspired and humbled when I look back to how Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union came to be – 60 years ago this year.Historical record tells us it was seven employees of the Northwest Paper Company who decided to start their own financial cooperative. Now, 60 years later, the people’s credit union is alive and well with the same vision it was created – to provide an opportunity to the people to have a say in their financial journey.
At MMFCU, everyone who has an account is a member, and owner, of the Credit Union. Members can vote for credit union directors to help run their financial institution. I was elected to this position because of you – our member/ owners. After becoming a member, you’re invited to enjoy the benefits of not only free and low cost services and exceptional rates, but also knowing you have a say in the decisions being made.
I am proud to share that, in 2015, MMFCU saved its members a total of $751,087.12 through refinancing other loans with better rates, providing services at reduced to no additional fees, and more.
We continue to expand our menu of options and services for our members – from opening your first savings account to investment and retirement services and everything in between.
As times change, so do the delivery methods in sharing news and information with our members. In the last year, we have increased our social media presence – taking advantage of platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest (to name a few). If you don’t know what one (or all) of these are, don’t feel bad; you’re not alone. But many of our members are very familiar, and this allows us to assist them as they embark on their financial journey.
Speaking of online opportunities – we recently launched software that allows individuals to apply for loans and open new accounts by computer or Smartphone. It’s amazing what technology has made possible in just the last few years.
I’d be remiss not to acknowledge and commend our MMFCU staff. This dedicated group of our neighbors and friends continues to find bigger and better ways to meet the needs of our membership. And, in true fashion with our motto “People Helping People,” MMFCU staff continue to contribute countless hours of volunteerism in and around their communities. It’s just part of who they are and what they do. Walking the walk and talking the talk.
It has been a phenomenal year to be involved with Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union. I am proud of what has transpired over time and am in anxious anticipation of what’s yet to come.
Happy 60th Anniversary, MMFCU! I am proud to represent this organization and its members as Chair of your Board of Directors.
Chairwoman’s Report
– Theresa Goble, Chairwoman
By tradition, a 60th anniversary is typically symbolized by a diamond or gold – both precious and coveted. This year, we celebrate
the 60th anniversary of Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit
Union. Much like the symbols that commemorate
such an occasion, we believe this organization to be
valuable and highly regarded.
We have experienced much growth and, as a result, many positive changes over the past year. From behind-the-scenes enhancements to front-of-the-house additions, Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union refuses to rest on its laurels. We continue to recognize the diverse and changing needs of our membership and rise to the occasion in meeting those needs.
In 2015 MMFCU commenced and completed a long-anticipated Core Enhancement process. This process drastically improved our technological infrastructure, paving the way for new products our members have requested and providing improvements to many of MMFCU’s current services. I would like to thank our staff and members for their patience during this extensive process. It was not an easy undertaking, but it was a critical one for our growing organization.
As we continually fine tune existing services, we also consistently work to add new tools to our proverbial financial toolbox. In 2015, we launched ClickSWITCHTM,
an online link that allows members to move recurring payments from old accounts to a new one with MMFCU. The process is automated, easy and quick. With ClickSWITCH, MMFCU members can change financial institutions without the hassle of filling out multiple forms or wasting time contacting payees for automated payments. Simply log into the ClickSWITCH portal and switch your existing direct deposits and automatic payments. Account information is transferred instantly, paving the way for a smooth and speedy transition to your new account.
For those counting down the days until retirement, we have provided a variety of resources and tools in a one-stop shop within mmfcu.org. At Retirement Central®, you’ll find everything you need to help plan for a successful retirement, whether it’s in 10 months or 10 years. This page is designed to provide the informa-tion, planning tools and practical ideas you can apply today, as well as a listing of frequently asked questions and more.
MMFCU also recently announced the addition of TruStage® Insurance – additional insurance options for auto, home, health and life. TruStage Insurance products and programs help members protect what matters most. Backed by nearly 80 years of working in partnership with credit unions and their members, you’ll find affordable products and programs – only available to credit union members like you.
As you can likely imagine, with an increase in products and services comes the need to provide additional staff and locations to better serve you. In August 2015, MMFCU opened its ninth full service branch location in Detroit Lakes. Our Field of Membership expansion in 2014 also led to a merger with Pine to Prairie Federal Credit Union in Twin Valley and has subsequently meant an increase in membership in the last year alone. We have also added new faces to our MMFCU family, and reorganized our internal staff organizational structure.
Our Education Network continues to flourish. With the help of technology, we are now able to electronically share educational sessions with outlying communities, via WebEx. Last year, we offered 12 different workshops ranging from “Identity Theft” to “Caring for Aging Parents. “ Providing educational opportunities on a variety of topics is of utmost importance to MMFCU. We want to arm our members with the information and resources to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones throughout their lifetime. A listing of current offerings is available on our website under the “Events” tab.
We also continue to provide financial education in several school districts within our service area. These courses are provided in conjunction with required high school curriculum, and help equip our leaders of tomorrow with the skills and knowledge to make prudent financial decisions in the years to come. We are incredibly proud of the partnerships we have made through this program and the achievements these students have made as a result of what they’ve learned.
With all of that said, I wonder if – back in 1956 – that small group of men and women who came together to form this credit union ever imagined the impact their organization would have. Over the past 60 years, we have evolved with the times. Not to say we haven’t been through our share of ups and downs, but through it all we have remained true to the philosophy of “People Helping People.”
Together, we celebrate this sixth decade of helping one another on the road to financial success and are grateful to those who had the foresight to begin this journey so many years ago on a prayer and a handshake.
As the Dutch proverb goes, “From humble beginnings come great things.”
– Chuck Albrecht, President/CEO
A rowdy rock and roller named Elvis Presley came onto the scene releasing his first
song, “Heartbreak Hotel.” Also in the world of entertainment, actress Grace Kelly married
Prince Rainier III, of Monaco; heavyweight-boxing champion Rocky Marciano retired
without losing a professional boxing match; and Bob Barker made his TV debut as host
of the game show Truth or Consequences.
Those wanting to purchase a new home looked to spend an average of $11,700. Yearly
wages for the working class were approximately $4,450. A new car averaged about
$2,050, and gasoline to fill it was 22 cents a gallon.
In 60 years, much has changed. We’ve come a long way from “Guys and Dolls” and the
first black and white portable television. However, in 1956, a group of forward-thinking,
hard-working individuals put into motion a local movement that has not only remained
unchanged, but has strengthened and stood the test of time.
Seven employees of the Northwest Paper Company created the Northwest Employees
Credit Union – a financial cooperative that would provide ownership to its members,
and nothing more than a simple handshake finalized a deal.
Today, we celebrate the concept of the credit union. Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit
Union was started and supported by men and women who longed for something
different. They wanted a choice in their financial solutions. Perhaps some couldn’t
qualify for loans at their bank and knew the credit union was their only option to see their
dreams become reality. We can only begin to imagine the doors a credit union opened
for these hard-working people. It was far more than a financial institution.
From humble beginnings came Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union – now nearly
38,000 members strong with over $287,868,101 in total assets.
We are proud of who we were, who we are and where we are headed. This has been
a journey 60 years in the making – rich in history and people-centered. Thank you
for allowing us to walk along side you and continuing to build upon a legacy and
strong community tradition.

President’s Message
The year was 1956.I am incredibly inspired and humbled when I look back to how Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union came to be – 60 years ago this year.Historical record tells us it was seven employees of the Northwest Paper Company who decided to start their own financial cooperative. Now, 60 years later, the people’s credit union is alive and well with the same vision it was created – to provide an opportunity to the people to have a say in their financial journey.
At MMFCU, everyone who has an account is a member, and owner, of the Credit Union. Members can vote for credit union directors to help run their financial institution. I was elected to this position because of you – our member/ owners. After becoming a member, you’re invited to enjoy the benefits of not only free and low cost services and exceptional rates, but also knowing you have a say in the decisions being made.
I am proud to share that, in 2015, MMFCU saved its members a total of $751,087.12 through refinancing other loans with better rates, providing services at reduced to no additional fees, and more.
We continue to expand our menu of options and services for our members – from opening your first savings account to investment and retirement services and everything in between.
As times change, so do the delivery methods in sharing news and information with our members. In the last year, we have increased our social media presence – taking advantage of platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest (to name a few). If you don’t know what one (or all) of these are, don’t feel bad; you’re not alone. But many of our members are very familiar, and this allows us to assist them as they embark on their financial journey.
Speaking of online opportunities – we recently launched software that allows individuals to apply for loans and open new accounts by computer or Smartphone. It’s amazing what technology has made possible in just the last few years.
I’d be remiss not to acknowledge and commend our MMFCU staff. This dedicated group of our neighbors and friends continues to find bigger and better ways to meet the needs of our membership. And, in true fashion with our motto “People Helping People,” MMFCU staff continue to contribute countless hours of volunteerism in and around their communities. It’s just part of who they are and what they do. Walking the walk and talking the talk.
It has been a phenomenal year to be involved with Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union. I am proud of what has transpired over time and am in anxious anticipation of what’s yet to come.
Happy 60th Anniversary, MMFCU! I am proud to represent this organization and its members as Chair of your Board of Directors.
Chairwoman’s Report
– Theresa Goble, Chairwoman
By tradition, a 60th anniversary is typically symbolized by a diamond or gold – both precious and coveted. This year, we celebrate
the 60th anniversary of Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit
Union. Much like the symbols that commemorate
such an occasion, we believe this organization to be
valuable and highly regarded.
We have experienced much growth and, as a result, many positive changes over the past year. From behind-the-scenes enhancements to front-of-the-house additions, Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union refuses to rest on its laurels. We continue to recognize the diverse and changing needs of our membership and rise to the occasion in meeting those needs.
In 2015 MMFCU commenced and completed a long-anticipated Core Enhancement process. This process drastically improved our technological infrastructure, paving the way for new products our members have requested and providing improvements to many of MMFCU’s current services. I would like to thank our staff and members for their patience during this extensive process. It was not an easy undertaking, but it was a critical one for our growing organization.
As we continually fine tune existing services, we also consistently work to add new tools to our proverbial financial toolbox. In 2015, we launched ClickSWITCHTM,
an online link that allows members to move recurring payments from old accounts to a new one with MMFCU. The process is automated, easy and quick. With ClickSWITCH, MMFCU members can change financial institutions without the hassle of filling out multiple forms or wasting time contacting payees for automated payments. Simply log into the ClickSWITCH portal and switch your existing direct deposits and automatic payments. Account information is transferred instantly, paving the way for a smooth and speedy transition to your new account.
For those counting down the days until retirement, we have provided a variety of resources and tools in a one-stop shop within mmfcu.org. At Retirement Central®, you’ll find everything you need to help plan for a successful retirement, whether it’s in 10 months or 10 years. This page is designed to provide the informa-tion, planning tools and practical ideas you can apply today, as well as a listing of frequently asked questions and more.
MMFCU also recently announced the addition of TruStage® Insurance – additional insurance options for auto, home, health and life. TruStage Insurance products and programs help members protect what matters most. Backed by nearly 80 years of working in partnership with credit unions and their members, you’ll find affordable products and programs – only available to credit union members like you.
As you can likely imagine, with an increase in products and services comes the need to provide additional staff and locations to better serve you. In August 2015, MMFCU opened its ninth full service branch location in Detroit Lakes. Our Field of Membership expansion in 2014 also led to a merger with Pine to Prairie Federal Credit Union in Twin Valley and has subsequently meant an increase in membership in the last year alone. We have also added new faces to our MMFCU family, and reorganized our internal staff organizational structure.
Our Education Network continues to flourish. With the help of technology, we are now able to electronically share educational sessions with outlying communities, via WebEx. Last year, we offered 12 different workshops ranging from “Identity Theft” to “Caring for Aging Parents. “ Providing educational opportunities on a variety of topics is of utmost importance to MMFCU. We want to arm our members with the information and resources to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones throughout their lifetime. A listing of current offerings is available on our website under the “Events” tab.
We also continue to provide financial education in several school districts within our service area. These courses are provided in conjunction with required high school curriculum, and help equip our leaders of tomorrow with the skills and knowledge to make prudent financial decisions in the years to come. We are incredibly proud of the partnerships we have made through this program and the achievements these students have made as a result of what they’ve learned.
With all of that said, I wonder if – back in 1956 – that small group of men and women who came together to form this credit union ever imagined the impact their organization would have. Over the past 60 years, we have evolved with the times. Not to say we haven’t been through our share of ups and downs, but through it all we have remained true to the philosophy of “People Helping People.”
Together, we celebrate this sixth decade of helping one another on the road to financial success and are grateful to those who had the foresight to begin this journey so many years ago on a prayer and a handshake.
As the Dutch proverb goes, “From humble beginnings come great things.”
– Chuck Albrecht, President/CEO
A rowdy rock and roller named Elvis Presley came onto the scene releasing his first
song, “Heartbreak Hotel.” Also in the world of entertainment, actress Grace Kelly married
Prince Rainier III, of Monaco; heavyweight-boxing champion Rocky Marciano retired
without losing a professional boxing match; and Bob Barker made his TV debut as host
of the game show Truth or Consequences.
Those wanting to purchase a new home looked to spend an average of $11,700. Yearly
wages for the working class were approximately $4,450. A new car averaged about
$2,050, and gasoline to fill it was 22 cents a gallon.
In 60 years, much has changed. We’ve come a long way from “Guys and Dolls” and the
first black and white portable television. However, in 1956, a group of forward-thinking,
hard-working individuals put into motion a local movement that has not only remained
unchanged, but has strengthened and stood the test of time.
Seven employees of the Northwest Paper Company created the Northwest Employees
Credit Union – a financial cooperative that would provide ownership to its members,
and nothing more than a simple handshake finalized a deal.
Today, we celebrate the concept of the credit union. Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit
Union was started and supported by men and women who longed for something
different. They wanted a choice in their financial solutions. Perhaps some couldn’t
qualify for loans at their bank and knew the credit union was their only option to see their
dreams become reality. We can only begin to imagine the doors a credit union opened
for these hard-working people. It was far more than a financial institution.
From humble beginnings came Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union – now nearly
38,000 members strong with over $287,868,101 in total assets.
We are proud of who we were, who we are and where we are headed. This has been
a journey 60 years in the making – rich in history and people-centered. Thank you
for allowing us to walk along side you and continuing to build upon a legacy and
strong community tradition.

MMFCU also recently announced the addition of TruStage® Insurance – additional insurance options for auto, home, health and life. TruStage Insurance products and programs help members protect what matters most. Backed by nearly 80 years of working in partnership with credit unions and their members, you’ll find affordable products and programs – only available to credit union members like you.
As you can likely imagine, with an increase in products and services comes the need to provide additional staff and locations to better serve you. In August 2015, MMFCU opened its ninth full service branch location in Detroit Lakes. Our Field of Membership expansion in 2014 also led to a merger with Pine to Prairie Federal Credit Union in Twin Valley and has subsequently meant an increase in membership in the last year alone. We have also added new faces to our MMFCU family, and reorganized our internal staff organizational structure.
Our Education Network continues to flourish. With the help of technology, we are now able to electronically share educational sessions with outlying communities, via WebEx. Last year, we offered 12 different workshops ranging from “Identity Theft” to “Caring for Aging Parents. “ Providing educational opportunities on a variety of topics is of utmost importance to MMFCU. We want to arm our members with the information and resources to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones throughout their lifetime. A listing of current offerings is available on our website under the “Events” tab.
We also continue to provide financial education in several school districts within our service area. These courses are provided in conjunction with required high school curriculum, and help equip our leaders of tomorrow with the skills and knowledge to make prudent financial decisions in the years to come. We are incredibly proud of the partnerships we have made through this program and the achievements these students have made as a result of what they’ve learned.
With all of that said, I wonder if – back in 1956 – that small group of men and women who came together to form this credit union ever imagined the impact their organization would have. Over the past 60 years, we have evolved with the times. Not to say we haven’t been through our share of ups and downs, but through it all we have remained true to the philosophy of “People Helping People.”
Together, we celebrate this sixth decade of helping one another on the road to financial success and are grateful to those who had the foresight to begin this journey so many years ago on a prayer and a handshake.
As the Dutch proverb goes, “From humble beginnings come great things.”
– Chuck Albrecht, President/CEO
A rowdy rock and roller named Elvis Presley came onto the scene releasing his first
song, “Heartbreak Hotel.” Also in the world of entertainment, actress Grace Kelly married
Prince Rainier III, of Monaco; heavyweight-boxing champion Rocky Marciano retired
without losing a professional boxing match; and Bob Barker made his TV debut as host
of the game show Truth or Consequences.
Those wanting to purchase a new home looked to spend an average of $11,700. Yearly
wages for the working class were approximately $4,450. A new car averaged about
$2,050, and gasoline to fill it was 22 cents a gallon.
In 60 years, much has changed. We’ve come a long way from “Guys and Dolls” and the
first black and white portable television. However, in 1956, a group of forward-thinking,
hard-working individuals put into motion a local movement that has not only remained
unchanged, but has strengthened and stood the test of time.
Seven employees of the Northwest Paper Company created the Northwest Employees
Credit Union – a financial cooperative that would provide ownership to its members,
and nothing more than a simple handshake finalized a deal.
Today, we celebrate the concept of the credit union. Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit
Union was started and supported by men and women who longed for something
different. They wanted a choice in their financial solutions. Perhaps some couldn’t
qualify for loans at their bank and knew the credit union was their only option to see their
dreams become reality. We can only begin to imagine the doors a credit union opened
for these hard-working people. It was far more than a financial institution.
From humble beginnings came Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union – now nearly
38,000 members strong with over $287,868,101 in total assets.
We are proud of who we were, who we are and where we are headed. This has been
a journey 60 years in the making – rich in history and people-centered. Thank you
for allowing us to walk along side you and continuing to build upon a legacy and
strong community tradition.
