Alerus

With roots dating back to 1879, Alerus has been serving individuals, families, and businesses with one core belief: everything we do should be in the best interest of our customers. Our proud history of perseverance and prosperity owes a great deal to the customer-focused approach we've held since day one. In 2000, our board made the strategic decision to change the company's name to Alerus Financial. With Latin origins expressing 'to take flight,' the new name perfectly aligned with the board's vision for the company, reflecting our evolution from a traditional bank to a total financial services company. Since the name change, Alerus has tripled in size, added comprehensive retirement and mortgage services, and expanded into two major markets. We take pride in helping our customers wherever they are on life's journey. And we mean it when we say, "It's our purpose to help you achieve yours." Mission: We will always act in the best interst of our customers by providing innovative and comprehensive finacial solutions that are delivered through a relationship-oriented single point of contact and supported by customer-friendly technology.
