Harbor Pointe was founded in 1933 as Duluth Teachers Credit Union to serve the financial needs of ISD 709 educators and their families.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:107%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"&gt;Through the years many changes have taken place, including the latest online technology today&amp;rsquo;s consumers desire as well as a new community charter. A community charter allows anyone living in St. Louis, Carlton, Lake &amp;amp; Eastern Itasca Counties in MN &amp;amp; Douglas County in WI to become members of the credit union. In 2017 the credit union underwent a name change to Harbor Pointe Credit Union. The new name better fits the expanded demographic region the credit union now serves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:107%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"&gt;Harbor Pointe Credit Union serves members in our region with savings, free checking, investments, consumer loans and mortgage products as well as business lending &amp;amp; financial products. The credit union takes pride in having some of the most competitive loan rates in our region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
