The Certificate of Organization for Conservation Employees' Credit Union was signed February 8, 1955 with 7 charter members. Rapid expansion and growth have made it possible for CECU to become a solid financial institution offering its members a full-line of comprehensive financial services. 

 

The underlying philosophy and existence of CECU have been one of serving its members' financial needs. CECU prides itself on being a "members" credit union. Unlike banks or savings and loans, the credit union is directed and operated by its members. There are no stockholders to satisfy. Therefore, a greater percentage of profits are returned to the members (shareholders) in the form of dividends and interest on investments....and generally lower interest rates on loans. This "members" credit union philosophy is carried out by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is chosen directly from the membership. Therefore, the credit union is owned and operated by the people it serves. The seven members of the Board of Directors meet at least once a month to guide various credit union activities. 

 

This personal approach and sound financial services make the credit union the financial institution that works for you!
