JACKSON, Mich.–– TRUE Community Credit Union celebrated its 70th birthday.
TRUE Community provided cupcakes and party favors to members who visited any of its 12 branches, and is hosting a month-long giveaway of $70 to 70 winners.
“We are so excited to be celebrating 70 years of being TRUE to our members, TRUE to our communities, and TRUE to each other,” said TRUECCU President and CEO Chrissy Siders. “I am so grateful to that small committee of individuals that met 70 years ago to form a financial cooperative to provide members with a safe, convenient place to save, and a source of credit, when needed, at or better than competitor’s rates. I am also grateful for all of the people that have come and gone, and still remain, over the past 70 years, who continue to provide that same vision, plus so much more! We can’t wait to continue cultivating legacy-defining moments for countless years to come.”
The credit union was chartered in1953 as Jackson Consumers Power Employees Federal Credit Union and has evolved to serve its changing membership and has become one of the strongest and financially healthy credit unions in the state.
In the fall of 2020, the credit union changed from a federally chartered to a state-chartered credit union to expand its membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Michigan and became known as CP Financial Credit Union.
CP Financial merged with Washtenaw Federal Credit Union in January 2021 to become TRUE Community Credit Union. Today the credit union serves more than 65,000 members with $700 million in assets and 12 branch locations in Jackson, Ingham, and Washtenaw counties.
