Belonging to our Members

The vision statement for Elevations Credit Union reads: "Know each member and help them realize their financial goals." We realize this vision by providing personalized service, value-based financial products, and by being a trusted source for information.

Elevations Credit Union has come a long way from its beginnings in the basement of Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado campus. In those days, the Credit Union only offered savings and loan accounts. Loans were typically based on good character and used to cover medical expenses or other family emergencies.

Through the years, as the economy and financial markets changed, so did member needs. We continually listened and responded with updates and improvements. Today, Credit Union members find a sophisticated offering of financial services from basic checking and savings to mortgages, financial planning and trusts. Through our partnerships with a national network of credit unions we offer thousands of locations throughout the country for branch transactions and surcharge-free ATMs. We've also kept pace with technology to provide Internet banking services.

With the many choices available and increasingly busy lifestyles, we understand that gathering reliable information to make wise financial decisions can be overwhelming. That's why we've developed impartial educational materials and seminars to provide members with the information they need to make decisions. Naturally, we would like members to handle all of their financial business with Elevations Credit Union, however, we prefer that they get the best products and services for their individual situation. Responsibility to our members comes first, above everything else.

Trust is the foundation of our relationship with our members. Elevations Credit Union is committed to protecting the privacy of each member's financial records consistent with federal and state laws. To continually earn our members trust, we take prudent and reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information to employees who need to know in order to provide products or services that best meet our member's needs. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are in complete compliance with federal regulations designed to safeguard your nonpublic personal information.

Each member of Elevations Credit Union is an owner. Thus the Credit Union belongs to its members and every decision we make is focused on the best interest of the membership. As a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution, the Credit Union's success is directly linked to that of the membership. This mutually beneficial relationship joins us together, guides our operations and helps create balance. This sense of common goals, cooperation and shared values underlies our culture and creates an atmosphere of belonging.
