What We Do
Eighty years ago, our credit union was founded by 15 courageous educators who pooled together all of the money they had – just $78.75. With help from our members, our community and our team, we have grown from those humble beginnings to become Arizona’s largest locally-based credit union.
We are dedicated to strengthening our local economy and workforce while providing financial solutions for more than 350,000 members.
