Our Story

Credit Union Umbrella ManThe Credit Union League of Connecticut is a not-for-profit organization that represents credit unions in the state of Connecticut and beyond. Established in 1935, we have been serving credit unions for more than 88 years, providing them with advocacy, education, and resources to help them better serve their members.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that credit unions are a vital part of the financial services industry and a critical tool for building economic prosperity for individuals and communities. The League works tirelessly to promote the credit union movement and educate consumers about the benefits of credit union membership.

As a member-driven organization, the League is dedicated to advocating for our member-credit unions at the state and federal levels. We work closely with lawmakers and regulators to ensure that credit unions are able to provide the best possible service to their members. The League also monitors legislative and regulatory developments that could impact credit unions and provides timely updates and resources to our members.

The Credit Union League of Connecticut offers a wide range of education and training programs for credit union staff and volunteers. These programs cover a variety of topics, including compliance, lending, marketing, and leadership. The League also hosts events and conferences throughout the year, providing opportunities for credit union professionals to connect with peers and learn about new trends and best practices in the industry.

In addition to advocacy and education, the League provides a wealth of resources to our members. These include access to industry research, tools and templates for credit union operations, and marketing materials to help credit unions promote their services and products to members.

The League is also committed to promoting financial literacy and consumer education. Through its foundation, Credit Unions Building Financial Independence, we partner with local organizations and schools to provide financial education programs. It also provides resources and tools to help consumers make informed financial decisions, including a financial counseling service that is available to all members.

At its core, the League is a community of credit unions that share a common goal of providing exceptional service to their members. We are committed to promoting the credit union advantage and helping credit unions thrive in an ever-changing financial services landscape.

The Credit Union League of Connecticut is a valuable resource for credit unions and a driving force behind their success.
