ST. PAUL, Minn. (May 14, 2018) – Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union has been named the “Favorite Financial Institution” in 2018 by Minnesota female consumers. For more than 20 years, the Minnesota Women’s Press has conducted the “What Women Want” recognition program to honor local businesses. Businesses named as “favorites” in a variety of categories were nominated by readers of the Minnesota Women’s Press. Honorees received the most votes in its online survey. Affinity Plus’ 2018 recognition reads:
"Favorite Financial Institution: Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union(. For money matters, you work with Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union, which offers insured bank accounts, loans, credit cards – even student services that include an option to finance academic technology purchases!
