Central City Credit Union History

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.
