who we are
We are regionally diverse, but locally driven. United’s headquarters are located in St. Joseph, Michigan, and has nearly 40 branches in Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio with $4 billion in assets.
We are owned by you, our Members. Unlike banks, we don’t have shareholders. Your voice matters, and we want to hear it. Our CEO must answer to member-elected board of directors who provide oversight and co-leadership.
United is a not-for-profit company that is dedicated to helping its community and Members.

what we do
As a credit union, we typically offer higher rates of return on savings accounts, lower interest rates on loans and have an emphasis on customer service when compared to banks.
We aren’t satisfied with the status quo. We are driven to explore new solutions and bring the best products and services available to all our Members.
At United, we always give our Members the real advice they need to make the financial decisions that are best for them.
