TruStar was founded in 1960 by paper mill employees in International Falls who were looking for a way to secure good rates on loans and competitive dividends on their savings. They each tossed five dollars in a hat to form the credit union’s first assets! We have grown significantly since our early days and have been recognized by industry peers and civic organizations for our financial strength, strategic growth, commitment to the communities we serve, and for the quality of our leadership. With assets in excess of $230 million, TruStar is headquartered in International Falls and serves a growing base of members with additional locations in Menahga, Park Rapids, Nevis, Bemidji and Littlefork.
