What makes us unique?

Stewardship.  We believe our core responsibility is to be sound stewards of our members' entrusted relationship with us.  We take extreme care in our investment and lending decisions; knowing that our members have entrusted us to be responsible.  Intertwined with the commitment of stewardship, is the responsibility to be forthcoming and transparent with all information we provide to our members about everything we do.

Apart from our dedication to service and our devotion to stewardship, we view ourselves as unique providers of superior value - evidenced by:

• Our high capital position creates significant leverage opportunity both from an investment and liquidity perspective, as well as a robust variety of service offerings
• Our ability to partner to deliver a wide array of products provides the flexibility to maintain expense control, while enlisting "best in class" service providers
• Our partnership approach with our members, versus rate driven vendor relationships, creates the support and advocacy from our core membership, which has proven to be a successful model
• Our focus on partnering with members has proven successful as we have expanded into new markets that are now being serviced primarily by larger corporate credit unions more focused on just investment dollars
• We recognize and concentrate entirely on the Primary Financial Institution (PFI) relationship with our members, knowing that long-term success is driven by these relationships, not by simply attracting investment dollars via the best rate

Our History

Corporate Central Credit Union dates back to 1947 when we were known as State Central Credit Union, a "dual purpose" credit union serving both credit unions and individual credit union members.  In 1980, this "dual purpose" role ended and big change came about for State Central Credit Union.  Congress adopted the Monetary Control Act, in which, subsequent regulations implementing the act made it clear that State Central Credit Union could no longer continue its dual role.  A reorganization plan created two separate entities:  State Central Credit Union and Wisconsin Corporate Central Credit Union.  State Central Credit Union continued as a natural person credit union, and Wisconsin Corporate Central Credit Union became fully operational on April 1, 1981 taking on the role of a "credit union serving credit unions."

With a strong, committed partnership already in place with every credit union in Wisconsin, Wisconsin Corporate Central Credit Union began reaching out to neighboring states in the Midwest.  In 2002, Wisconsin Corporate Central Credit Union became simply - Corporate Central Credit Union to better reflect our growing membership and to position ourselves for the future.  Although Corporate Central Credit Union takes great pride in our relationships with our existing members, we also strive to develop relationships with potential members and new members alike.  Corporate Central Credit Union's commitment to exceeding the expectations of our members began more than sixty years ago and it is that commitment that will enable strong, dedicated relationships to continue developing as Corporate Central Credit Union looks to the future.
