Mission & History
Mission
We are a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned by its members. Our mission is to build lifelong relationships that enhance the financial lives of our members and Catholic communities.
History
At the turn of the 21st century, the Board of Directors of Catholic United Financial approved the establishment of a member-owned credit union that would operate under the same values and business principles informed by the Catholic faith as its parent company. Since then, Catholic United Financial Credit Union has provided banking products and services to a growing membership throughout Minnesota.

Board of Directors
