Luminate Bank Ranks #2 Among Fastest-Growing Twin Cities Banks by Real Estate Lending

Luminate Bank® has been ranked #2 among the fastest-growing Twin Cities banks by real estate lending, according to newly released data from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.


The ranking measures year-over-year growth in real estate loan portfolios and includes only banks headquartered in the Twin Cities. While the numbers tell an important story, this recognition is ultimately about the people behind the growth.


Growth Powered by People and Purpose

This ranking reflects the dedication of Luminate Bank team members who show up every day focused on doing the right thing: for customers, for partners, and for the communities they serve. From lending and operations to support and leadership, this growth is the result of collaboration, care, and a shared commitment to Luminate’s core values.


Rather than chasing growth for growth’s sake, Luminate Bank remains focused on responsible real estate lending, thoughtful solutions, and strong relationships. That approach continues to fuel steady momentum and meaningful progress.


Grateful for the Momentum and the Team Behind It

Between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, Luminate Bank experienced significant growth in its real estate lending portfolio, earning a top-two ranking among the fastest-growing Twin Cities banks by real estate lending. But more than the growth itself, this moment is about appreciating the people who made it happen.


To every team member who contributed to this milestone: thank you for your hard work, integrity, and commitment to helping others move forward financially.


As Luminate Bank continues to grow, the focus remains the same: supporting people, strengthening communities, and building something meaningful together.
