General Mills Strong Since 1935

Our Story

One flour mill. One big idea. Nearly 90 years later, we're still here for the entire General Mills community.

It Started in the Mill

In 1935, Gold Medal Flour Mill workers decided they deserved better than what traditional banks were offering. They pooled their resources and created a credit union that actually understood their needs.

What began as neighbors helping neighbors has grown into a financial home for thousands of General Mills families nationwide.
