About Sunrise Banks | 2171 University Avenue West in Saint Paul

Sunrise Banks has deep roots in the Twin Cities, built on a mission of financial inclusion and community development that sets it apart from conventional retail banks. This University Avenue West branch sits along one of Saint Paul's most culturally significant corridors — a stretch that connects the Midway neighborhood to the broader urban fabric between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and one that has seen substantial reinvestment since the Green Line light rail transformed the avenue. The surrounding mix of transit stops, modest lodging, and everyday services reflects a working, transit-dependent community where access to fair banking genuinely matters. Sunrise Banks is a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), meaning it actively directs capital toward underserved residents and small businesses — not just processes transactions. The branch offers an ATM and drive-through for everyday convenience.
