R I A.Federal Credit Union

Unlike banks, we don’t answer to stockholders or investors, we answer to YOU. As a local, democratically controlled not-for-profit, each member of Ascentra Credit Union owns a share in the credit union. When you join Ascentra, you are not a customer you're a member-owner and are treated as such. We put people before profits. Those profits then go back to you, in the form of lower interest rates on loans, higher returns on your deposits, and lower fees. For our 40,000 members who directly benefit from our cooperative model, it's more than just about financial services, it’s about being part of an organization made up of people who genuinely care about your financial well-being and the communities we serve.
