Description

Montana’s Credit Unions (MCU) is the statewide trade association for Montana’s credit unions. We exist to promote and protect the credit union movement and to empower our member credit unions in serving more than 460,000 Montanans.

Rooted in the “people helping people” philosophy, MCU provides advocacy, education, communications, and community development support to strengthen credit unions and the communities they serve. Our team works collaboratively to advance financial well-being, foster cooperative partnerships, and amplify the credit union difference across Montana.

We’re a small, mission-driven team that values integrity, teamwork, flexibility, and a sense of purpose. At MCU, you’ll find a supportive environment that encourages initiative, learning, and laughter — because we believe meaningful work should also be enjoyable.
