In 1949, Father Hugh Deeney saw a need within St. John's Parish
for people to help each other out financially by pooling their resources
and St. John's CU, (later to be renamed Central Catholic Credit
Union then Central City Credit Union) was born. Thirteen applications
for membership were accepted at the first meeting, bringing the
total assets to $320. At the end of the new credit union's first
year there were 61 members and assets of $4,356.
In 1951, membership eligibility was expanded to include parish
members of nine area catholic churches. In 1976 the newly named
Central City Credit Union expanded its membership eligibility. For
the current geographical area we serve, check our service
area map.
Past presidents at Central City have included Reinhold Weber, Edward Pfahning, Joe Dorf, Jesse Sandoval, Heidi Fahey and, current President/CEO Rob Kublank.
Central City has been located at 222 East Upham Street since January
1995. Currently, there are 14,500+ members and total assets exceed
$100 million.
Over the years, Central City has benefited from the volunteer
leadership of many. Some of the long term directors of the credit
union include Ray Heinzen, Richard Derge, Reuben Danner, Tom Palecek,
Jim Trierweiler, George Winkler and Randy Gershman. Current board
members include Richard Voigt, Mark Page, John Welter, Ray Gougeon,
Sandra Heeg, Keith Strey and Patti Shafto-Carlson.
