Founded in 1939, WESTconsin Credit Union is one of the region`s strongest financial services providers. Our history takes us back to primarily serving the Menomonie area agricultural community, then operating as Menomonie Farmers Credit Union. We expanded in membership base over the next several years and merged with other small credit unions in the region. In the summer of 1990, we recognized this growth by changing our name to WESTconsin Credit Union. Today, our field of membership footprint includes 28 counties across west central Wisconsin and east central Minnesota with offices in Altoona, Amery, Baldwin, Barron, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Ellsworth, Hudson, Menomonie, New Richmond, Prescott, River Falls and Spring Valley, Wisconsin. We exist to serve the financial needs of our member-owners (accountholders) and our communities. As a not-for-profit financial services organization, we are owned and operated by and for our members. Our members receive dividends back on a daily basis in the form of low-fee products and services. In addition, our not-for-profit status enables us to operate at a lower cost than many for-profit institutions, and helps WESTconsin offer competitive loan and savings rates to our members. We`re based right here in your community, owned by community members like you. You get a higher level of personal service, and can build a long-lasting relationship with people who can help you find the best financial solutions to your unique needs.

CFE Federal Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative, offering comprehensive financial solutions that help members achieve their financial goals. We exist solely for the benefit of our members, and we return our profits to them in the form of lower loan rates, higher dividends on savings, and lower fees. Our members have built CFE into a billion dollar institution, rated 5-stars for our strength and security. And in return, CFE has been there for our members and the communities we serve throughout Central Florida, since 1937.
Melrose Credit Union was established in 1922 to provide financial resources for individuals and small business owners from the Bronx, NY. Through the Credit Union, community residents were afforded the means to pursue their American Dreams. Our mission today is the same as it was then: to empower the community by offering affordable financial products and services. Today, that commitment to the communities we serve has helped transform Melrose Credit Union from a small storefront in the Bronx, NY into one of the most successful financial institutions in the United States. Melrose members enjoy some of the highest saving yields and lowest loan rates in the region. Melrose Credit Union operates under the supervision of the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). All deposit accounts are federally insured under the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) to at least $250,000 per account by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUSIF is subsidized by participating credit unions and does not receive funding from any tax revenues.
