Consumers Credit Union is a credit union founded in 1951 and is headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[2]

History

[edit]

Consumers Credit Union was founded in 1951 under the name Kalamazoo Consumers Power Company (KCPC) Employees Federal Credit Union, a credit union for employees of Consumers Energy.[3][4] Consumers became a state-chartered credit union in 1964 and its services grew to include employees of the Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert, Michigan.[5]

The name changed in 1987 to its current Consumers Credit Union.[6] In 1988, they began allowing employees of companies located in the city of Kalamazoo to become members.[5]

In 2017, Consumers Credit Union moved their headquarters into The Groves Engineering Business Technology Park in Kalamazoo.[2] On July 2, 2022, Scott Sylvester became CEO of Consumers Credit Union.[7]
