In Our Community

We’re local and proud to be part of the communities we serve. To us, community means more than just having a location in town. It means being part of something bigger than ourselves, it means giving back whenever and wherever we can, it means we love where we live just as much as you do, it means your success is our success. AmeriCU helps our members live life, dream big, and achieve financial success – and not just our members, our communities, too.

Local roots that still hold true. Since 1950.

AmeriCU values the importance of giving back to the communities where we live and work, it is part of who we are. Credit unions were built on the belief of people helping people and at AmeriCU we are here to help support our community; the heart of the credit union mission. AmeriCU’s commitment to give, volunteer, and support local organizations inspires us to grow our efforts each year.
