Credit unions were founded on the basic principle of "people helping people." We believe we can only achieve this by staffing excellent people here at the credit union.
Our Purpose Statement is: “Assisting our diverse family of members to fulfill their financial dreams.” When you're in the business of handling people's finances, it's important to ensure the safety and security of our credit union. We take this task very seriously. Also, the family aspect is important to us because so many of our members have been with us since they were children with their very first account. We see them grow and progress and we want to service their financial needs throughout their lifetime.
