Community Reinvestment Act Public File

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977 encourages banks to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they do business, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

We at MinnStar Bank pride ourselves on our commitment to the communities in which we live, work and serve. Below you will find each of the components the Bank’s CRA Public File available for your review.
