- Hopkins Branch Member, via Member Survey

SPIRE provided a loan so we were able to purchase a van and have the ability to start taking our mother out for rides. Our mother totally regained her self-respect and began starting to eat better, was happier and enjoying life again. We really appreciate the loan as it has given our mother’s independence back."

- Elk River Branch Member, via Member Survey

"I have and will continue to refer others to SPIRE. Our experience since opening our first account has been helpful, personal and respectful.

Hans treated us like respected customers with SPIRE as our partner in securing our financial needs."
