Family History at Sunrise Banks
Sunrise Banks has been serving the urban core of Minneapolis and St. Paul since 1989. In 2013, David, and his father William, made the strategic decision to bring the individual banks they owned and operated together under one brand name and mission – to be a force for good.
“To me, being a force for good means doing the right thing for people and the planet,” says David. “It is the thing that excites me most about our work at Sunrise Banks. We want to lead, create and inspire so that we can empower good in our communities.”
Guided by David’s leadership, Sunrise Banks has expanded its reach by focusing on people, access, community impact and social responsibility. In 2009, Sunrise Banks became the first Certified B Corporation in Minnesota. To date, it remains the only B Corp Bank in Minnesota and the only B Corp in South Dakota. Sunrise Banks is certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), with at least 60% of the bank’s lending supporting low-to-moderate income customers and communities.
