About Us
What is a Credit Union?
A credit
union is a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution
that is owned and controlled by its members, through
the election of a volunteer Board of Directors elected
from the membership itself.
How is a Credit Union
Different?
A credit
union differs from a traditional financial institution
(banks, savings and loan, etc.) in that the members
who have accounts in the credit union are the credit
union's owners. A credit union is a co-operative institution,
with policies governing interest rates and other matters
set to benefit the interests of the membership as a
whole. As such, credit unions have historically provided
superior member service and been committed to helping
members improve their financial health.
Our History
Post Community Credit Union has gone through
many changes since its formation in 1936. Formerly known
as Post Products Credit Union or Post Employees CU our
name changed after the merger with Metrocom Area Credit
Union and in August of 2004 Post Metro Credit Union
was introduced.
In early 2007 another merger opportunity was
accepted that would equally benefit both the memberships
of Post Metro Credit Union and BC Postal Credit Union. At
that time we began use of our new name Post Community
Credit Union. We felt very strongly about maintaining
our identity and our close connection to our roots, the Post factory
and Metro Area employees, but we also wanted to better
reflect that we provided financial services to anyone
who lives, works, attends school or worships in our
field of membership which includes Barry, Branch,
Calhoun,
Eaton, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Van Buren counties.
Many things have changed since 1936, however, the great
services and products provided to our membership have
remained the same. Our members can be certain that not
only are they getting great rates, whether it be on
a share or loan account, they are also getting the personal, friendly and trustworthy service they've come to expect for over 75 years.
