History has two purposes, especially for people like us. It either teaches lessons or deepens roots (or both).

When we started in 1957, we figured focusing on the needs of our members would make us both unique and help us grow. Over the years, we have grown, joining with other credit unions in the kind of smaller communities we prefer – where people come first. History teaches us that we made the right choices. Our members tell us we are unique.

And how are our roots?
