The CDFIs, credit unions, and microlenders that actually say yes — county by county, in two languages. We are not a lender. Nobody paid to be listed. And where a county has no good doors, we say so.

THE SMALL PRINT

How to read this list.

No agenda

We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.

Based here vs. serves here

A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.

Where this comes from

Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.

Whether you're a solo contractor, a Spanish-speaking buyer without a Social Security Number, or a small real-estate investor, there is a path forward — and a local organization that can walk it with you.

CREDIT UNIONUnited Savings Credit Union

Based in Fargo, North Dakota. A credit union — owned by its members rather than by shareholders, which is exactly what changes the conversation after a bank has said no.

BEST FORA personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing, and buying, repairing or refinancing a home.
CDFICDFI-certifiedMidwest Minnesota Community Development Corporation

Based in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Treasury-certified as a CDFI, which is a mandate rather than a courtesy: reaching borrowers the mainstream market passes over is the job.

BEST FORWorking capital, equipment and payroll for a small business, and community lending where a bank has already said no.
CDFICDFI-certifiedWhite Earth Investment Initiative

Based in Ogema, Minnesota. A CDFI — a mission lender, not a branch network. It is measured on who it reaches, which is why a thin file is not the end of the conversation.

BEST FORCommunity lending where a bank has already said no, and working capital, equipment and payroll for a small business.
RIGHT HEREMinnesota, and the rules that apply in Becker County.
3 DOORS ABOVE

Everything below is set by Minnesota, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 3 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.

The rules where you are.

None of this is set by a lender. Minnesota sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.

  • PROPERTY TAX1.05% effective

    What Minnesota charges every year on what the house is worth. No lender sets it and it does not go away when the loan does — it is part of the payment from day one.

  • MEDIAN HOME, STATEWIDE$325K

    The number an appraisal gets read against. A house well under it is often the loan a big bank does not want — which is exactly what the doors above are for.

  • STATE INCOME TAX5.35% – 9.85%

    It comes off before a lender works out how much of your income can go to a payment.

  • COST OF LIVING94.1

    National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here than it does nationally.

  4. 04
