Our Purpose Defines Why We’re Here

Our purpose is “Empowering members to achieve financial success.” Sure, we offer checking, savings, credit cards, loans, and investments. Yet as a credit union, profits are returned to our members in the form of higher deposit rates, lower loan rates, and fewer fees. Because our goal is to improve the financial lives of our member-owners, we provide personal attention and financial wellness education, such as various events with our partner companies and community.

We’re driven by our purpose statement:

Empowering members to achieve financial success.
