History

History of CU of Emporia

The Credit Union of Emporia was formed in 1953 by seven Santa Fe Railroad employees. It was originally called the “Emporia Santa Fe Credit Union”. In 1985, the members voted to change the name to “Credit Union of Emporia” to better reflect the membership, which represents many of the Lyon County employee groups. The Credit Union moved to its’ current location at 2711 W. 15th Avenue in 1998. In 2014, we broadened our membership to cover any person or organization that lives, works, or worships in Lyon, Osage, Wabaunsee, Coffey, Chase, Morris and Greenwood counties.

Once a member, even if you move away you may keep your membership.
