About Us
We
Are
Choice One Credit Union
Our
credit union was originally chartered in 1941 by the employees of the Bell Telephone
Company. Tired of the poor service offered by local banks and other financial
institutions, they formed the credit union to provide better loan and savings
rates, as well as the personal financial attention they felt everyone deserved.
We now serve over 12,000 credit union members and over 200 important Select Groups. TOP
Our
Commitment
Today,
tomorrow, and beyond, our commitment remains to you, your family, and our community.
As
a member-owned, not for profit financial cooperative, Choice One Credit Union is committed to member
service.
We
will uphold our fundamental responsibility to actively serve people within our
designated field of membership, and when appropriate, the communities they live
in. We will treat all members with respect and dignity. We will offer honest and
fair deals to all members at all times.
We
will deliver a wide array of low cost products and services to the diverse economic
and social make-up of our members and potential members. We will continue to look
for better ways to reach out to the underserved to demonstrate the value of credit
union membership.
We
will monitor and communicate our services in a meaningful way so that members,
potential members, legislators, regulators, and the community at large will understand
and appreciate the unique role this credit union plays in our life.
Through
strategic planning we will put forth every effort to make our members profitable
and financially self-sufficient.
This
"Statement of Commitment" to our members is consistent with the credit
union principles of "Not for Profit, Not for Charity, but for Service"
and the philosophy of "People Helping People". It represents good business
