History
Brainerd BN Credit Union was organized on November 25, 1940 as Brainerd NP Credit Union to serve the needs of the Northern Pacific Railway workers in central Minnesota. In 1970, after a merger changed the name of the local railway, Brainerd NP Credit Union changed its name to the name we use today, Brainerd BN Credit Union.
Over time, our field of membership has expanded to serving BNSF Railway & BN Credit Union workers and their spouses, as well as blood or adoptive relatives (and their spouses) of current Brainerd BN Credit Union members.
Brainerd BN Credit Union strives to provide its members with a family-like atmosphere. We are “Member Friendly – Service-Driven”.

Why a Credit Union
Member owned
Owned by the members who have a share (regular savings) in the Credit Union.
Not for profit
Credit Unions return their profits to their member, not shareholders like banks and other financial institutions. Credit unions do this by having fewer fees on services, lower rates on loans, higher returns on savings and personal services.
Insured
Credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) which insures credit union deposits up to $250,000
Accessible
As a member of the Credit union you can use a nationwide network of over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs (Allpoint)
