About us
Our credit union was born from a simple idea: to help. Back in 1961, a group of salaried employees at Great Lakes Steel came together to support their coworkers in improving their financial well-being. That first year, 697 members joined forces, saving $112,000 in their accounts. Those savings, along with funds borrowed by the credit union, made it possible to issue 525 loans totaling $268,000.
As time went on, we realized the need for financial support extended beyond just one group of employees—it was something the entire community could benefit from. Today, we’re proud to serve individuals and families throughout the Downriver area, helping to create brighter financial futures.
We’re local, we’re neighborly, and we’re here to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those around us.
