Certified B Corp and CDFI

As a certified B Corp, Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, Sunrise Banks does banking differently. As a certified CDFI—and the first CDFI bank in Minnesota and South Dakota—at least 60% of Sunrise Banks loans are made in low-to-moderate income communities. In 2025, 62% of our loans were made in low-to-moderate income communities.
