NSCCU Receives AARP BankSafe Verification

We are proud to announce our recognition as an AARP BankSafe trained institution, demonstrating our commitment to preventing financial exploitation. At North Star, we are one of only 167 banks, credit unions, and financial advisory firms that earned the 2024 BankSafe Trained Seal in recognition of the steps taken to curb financial exploitation. We are also one of the few financial institutions that has earned the Trained Seal for three consecutive years.

Every year, millions of Americans lose significant portions of their life savings to financial exploitation - that is, the improper use of another person’s resources through deceit, coercion, fraud, undue influence, and other means. Recognizing the key role played by financial institutions - and particularly their front-line staff - in identifying and stopping financial abuse, AARP worked to develop a solution. The result was BankSafe, an online interactive training specifically for bank and credit union staff.

We have taken meaningful steps to ensure that our team members have the tools, knowledge, skills and confidence to spot and stop financial exploitation before money ever leaves our members’ account.
