#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor.

A New Achievement in Banking.

Did you know Sunrise Banks was the first Minnesota company to achieve a B Corp certification? We also remain the only B Corp bank in the state. During our most recent recertification in 2020, Sunrise received a B Impact score of 144.2. For context, companies need a score of 80 or higher to qualify for B Corp status. So we're way above that! We’re hooked on progress - in it for the long haul, as they say. We want to move with the world, adapt to meet new needs and keep our place in a community of B corps moving business forward.

Asset quality continues to normalize but remains in-line relative to our outlook and allowance coverage ratios. Looking into 2024, we remain diligently focused on winning on our home court in the best U.S. markets by helping new and existing core clients reach their financial goals.
