As a credit union, we are a not-for-profit, member-owned, financial cooperative. Being not-for-profit means our goal is to return as much as possible to our members in the form of better interest rates, lower fees, and innovative services. In addition, we have taken a minimal branch strategy, which keeps our costs down so we can offer even more value to our members.

At the same time, we are part of the CO-OP Shared Branch network that allows our members to perform a range of transactions at other participating credit unions across Colorado and the rest of the country. As part of the CO-OP ATM network, our members have access to over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs covering all 50 states and 10 countries. We also offer a great full-featured mobile app that includes free mobile check deposit* and gives our members free access to their credit score and credit report. Whether you live nearby, or across the country, these options enable our members to access their accounts wherever are, with no fees or charges for any of these services. 

Being member-owned means the credit union is owned and controlled by the people who use our services. The members of the credit union elect other members to serve on the Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee and Credit Committee. We don’t have stockholders like banks do. Most banks are owned by stockholders and the bank’s purpose is to increase the wealth of their stockholders…not necessarily the customers of the bank. The credit union’s sole purpose is to serve our members and give them the best possible value.

We are dedicated to engaging with our community and providing financial education and resources for our members. At Credit Union of Denver, we want to be our members’ trusted partner in reaching their financial goals. As such, we are committed to providing our members with outstanding service that includes being honest, reliable, convenient and compassionate. If you’re not already a member, you are welcome to join us.

Volunteers are the backbone of Credit Union of Denver. For over 90 years, the credit union has provided value and financial stability to its members. They determine the direction of the credit union and approve policies that govern the credit union’s operations and growth. Did you know you could be a volunteer too? As a member of the credit union, you are eligible to run for an elected office if you are at least 21 years of age, bondable, a member in good standing and you must be genuinely interested in providing leadership to assure the future of your credit union, and be of sound judgement in financial and business matters.

For any questions regarding volunteer opportunities, please contact our Credit Union of Denver Executive Assistant, Katie Danek-Sodt at 303.239.1113.
