achieve credit union
We strive to help our members Learn, Dream and Achieve all of their life goals.
One of the cornerstones of the credit union movement is People Helping People. As part of our commitment to this philosophy, we participate in the following:
- Over Achievers: Through this program, ACHIEVE provides support to social service agencies. Several times each year, we invite members and staff to participate by donating items or funds to help local people in need.
- Financial Education/Financial Literacy: As an education-based credit union, we’re committed to providing members of all ages with the tools they need to meet their financial goals.
- School Levy Support: For every employee of a qualifying school district in Lorain County who signs up for Direct Deposit or Payroll Deduction, we donate $2 to a fund that supports school levies. Requests for levy support may be made, in writing to our President & CEO, from either the school district’s treasurer or the levy campaign treasurer.
- Accessibility: ACHIEVE CU is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience in accordance with ADA standards and guidelines. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website to everyone. If you are using a screen-reader or other auxiliary aid and are having problems using this website, please contact us at 440-324-3400. All products and services available on this website are available at all ACHIEVE branches.
