Why us?

At the Credit Union of Colorado, you’re a member. You’re also a co-owner. So we treat you as such. Personalized service. No one trying to sell you things. Respect and genuine friendliness. And a share of the profits that we make, which come back to you as lower rates on loans and added features.

If you’re looking for an honest, collaborative, community-based way to do something good with your money, look no further. We’re here to help.

The people that work there are the nicest and sincerely try to help you! I don’t know where you get these employees, but they are awesome!

Our History

At the time our credit union was founded in 1934, it was known as Colorado State Employees Credit Union. In the early days, only active state employees could be members. A lot has changed since then, and today we are known as the Credit Union of Colorado, a name that better reflects our broad and diverse membership.

With 90 years of experience serving members, we’re proud of our strength, stability, and history as a member-owned financial institution. And we’re equally excited for what’s next.

Today, 160,000+ people, from all walks of life, enjoy the benefits of membership in a credit union that is worth over $2.5 billion in assets.
