Our Story

Our mission

As an industry, we have always known we work better together. It is a guiding principle that has served our industry well. This is the driving force behind America’s Credit Unions: one unified voice for credit unions where we move together to advocate for and advance an environment where credit unions thrive. 

As champions of innovation, financial stability, and community empowerment, America's Credit Unions ensures that credit unions remain essential, adaptable, and thriving in an ever-changing financial landscape. We are dedicated to building a better world for credit unions with and for you, coast to coast, across the country.  

When credit unions thrive, credit union members have the greatest chance at achieving their best financial lives. 

The combined power of a national association, state Leagues, member credit unions, and more than 140 million credit union members form an unparalleled network looking out for credit unions’ best interests.

Together we will move with purpose, passion, and strength.

Our history

On January 1, 2024, the Credit Union National Association and the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions merged to give the credit union industry a stronger and more responsive voice on the national stage. This merger was a historic opportunity to transform credit union advocacy at the federal and state levels and advance the industry into the future.  

With more than a combined 150 years of supporting credit unions, America’s Credit Unions was formed and brought together the best of both organizations to offer exceptional services to credit unions so they can help Americans achieve and afford their best financial lives.
