Mission Statement:
To create wealth and promote economic development by bringing affordable capital and financial services to low-income and other traditionally underserved populations.
Our motto “We don’t say ‘no’, we say when” reinforces our mission:
Opportunities Credit Union provides innovative and affordable loan and deposit programs for credit building and repair, business and home ownership, consumer needs, modified vehicles, adaptive equipment and energy improvements along with financial education and counseling solutions that have been tailored for our target market. We offer solutions & provide an “Asset Path” to financial security. Given our mission and target market, Opportunities Credit Union faces unique opportunities and challenges specific to credit unions who service the financial needs of people of modest income and assets. These realities are factored into the design of our products, services and delivery systems.
OCU brings unique assets to any community development partnership. We coordinate with a wide range of public/ private entities to gain access to different segments of our target market & leverage our joint resources. Our collaborations and support includes hundreds of partners, social and community investors, foundations and friends who choose to share their resources and place their money with us in order to allow us to continue to improve the lives of their families, co-workers, friends and communities. Please check out our unique products and services and read more about us in our annual report.
