Once I understood that this credit union was answering a greater call to serve the Minneapolis community, how could I not be a part of it? The journey hasn’t been easy—and it won’t be—but as they say, ‘nothing worth having comes easy.’ To the volunteers and staff: thank you for saying ‘yes’ to the call and for allowing me to be part of this inspirational journey."  Ashley Beach Reid It’s Your Strategy LLC, Credit Union Consultant > “Consulting on the new Arise Credit Union is such a privilege and honor. Arise Credit Union is Minnesota’s newest credit union. The dedication from the Board of Directors and staff will serve the community and provide great financial services for generations to come" Karen Fleming Blaze Credit Union MVP of Special Projects ## Helpful Resources ![](https://www.ariseccu.org/hs-fs/hubfs/assets/images/personal-banking/young-couple-financial-planning.jpg?width=450&name=young-couple-financial-planning.jpg) Resource ### [ Financial Calculators ](https://www.ariseccu.org/financial-calculators) Learn More ![](https://www.ariseccu.org/hs-fs/hubfs/assets/images/resources/its-me-247-video-series.jpg?width=450&name=its-me-247-video-series.jpg) Video ### [ How to Videos ](https://www.ariseccu.org/financial-resources/how-to-videos) Watch Videos ### Recent Posts [![Francis Odhiambo, Interim CEO, Arise Community Credit Union](https://www.ariseccu.org/hs-fs/hubfs/assets/images/news/arise-black-business-spotlight.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=arise-black-business-spotlight.jpg) In The News 1 min Arise CCU Featured in Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Black Business Spotlight ](https://www.ariseccu.org/news/arise-ccu-featured-in-minnesota-spokesman-recorder-spotlight) [![Saturday Morning Connect: Real People.
