Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, Credit Union of America was officially chartered on March 6, 1935 as the “Wichita City Teachers Credit Union”.
In 1974 our name was changed to Credit Union of America and our membership was opened from serving only educators to being able to serve residents and workers in a multi-county Kansas area.
Like other credit unions, CUA is a financial cooperative where members own a share of the organization and have a vote in the appointment of our volunteer Board of Directors and Supervisory committee.
This structure of membership allows our account owners to be more involved in the direction and leadership of CUA.
