The History of America's Credit Unions
For over 85 years, we have been committed to making a profound impact on the lives of our members. With decades of experience and a comprehensive range of services, we offer the same level of expertise you would expect from a large bank, but with a personalized touch.
History
People helping people is at the core of what our credit union is all about. Metro Plus Credit Union, formerly Metro Employees Credit Union, was established in 1940 by employees from the City of Lexington looking for a way to earn higher rates on savings and lower rates for loans.
To this day, the credit union continues to serve City of Lexington employees, partner agencies of the city and their families. In July 2024, our field of membership was expanded to allow us to serve those persons who live, work, worship, volunteer, or attend school in the Bluegrass Area Development district of Central Kentucky along with current members of the credit union and immediate family of someone who is a member. Spouses of persons who passed away while within the field of membership of the credit union are also eligible to have an account.
