About Us

Sunrise Community Banks is a family owned banking group comprised of three locally owned and managed banks; Franklin Bank, Park Midway Bank, and University Bank headquartered in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Sunrise Community Banks’ mission is to be "The Leader in Improving Our Urban Community".

Sunrise Community Banks and its affiliate banks are certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). Nationwide, there are only 62 banks with this unique designation that signifies Sunrise’s commitment to community development. The U.S. Department of Treasury certifies financial institutions that demonstrate a primary mission of community development, serve a distressed target market, and remain accountable to that target market.

Sunrise Community Banks is committed to providing financial services to inner city Minneapolis and Saint Paul neighborhoods. We support small business, affordable housing development, and the creation of vital community facilities. Our customers help us invest in our local community through participating in our Socially Responsible Deposit Fund (SRDF). Funds deposited into the SRDF fuel our community development initiatives.
