CAFCU, also known as Corporate America Family Credit Union, is a not-for-profit financial cooperative.

As a credit union, we offer all the same products and services as a bank, but we're different.

Instead of being motivated by profits, we are a mission-driven organization that exists to empower everyday people.

CAFCU was founded in 1939 in Chicago by 15 employees of Automatic Electric, who wanted to build on an idea to pool their money and lend to one another at lower rates than banks.

This concept of empowerment is the foundation of our member-owned credit union, which is fueled by a vision of making a meaningful difference in the financial lives of our members.

Today, we partner with employers across the U.S. to provide free financial wellness services, discounted loans, and better savings rates to their employees at no cost to them. 

• The real difference is you. With us, you're a member, not a customer. We're not-for-profit, so we don't answer to stockholders, like banks do. We answer to you.
• We are financially strong and secure. Corporate America has consistently earned the highest ratings by our state and Federal regulators. Check out our Safe & Sound rating on bankrate.com
• We succeed in making a meaningful difference in the financial lives of our members. And we've been doing so for nearly seventy years.
• Reaching Potential. We can help your employees reach their financial potential, just like we've helped employees at over 700 Sponsor Companies nationwide. We currently offer these beneficial services specifically designed to make financial lives better:
  • Financial education resources — such as BALANCE
  • Valuable articles and education materials — find answers regarding loans, savings, financial calculators, and more
  • Payroll Allocation and Direct Deposit — employees can easily pay loans and pay themselves first on payday but the benefits don't stop there. Employee memberships can be shared with family.

And the best part is memberships are for life — once a member, always a member.

Interested in offering CAFCU's banking solutions to your employees?

Here's how it works:

1. We'll meet to discuss the relationship and learn more how to empower your company as we support your employees through our free financial wellness benefit.

2. If you would like to proceed, we will create a letter of intent (LOI) that expresses your interest in partnering with us. This is a no-strings-attached agreement and not a contract. You are free to move on at any time.

3. Once the LOI is signed, we'll provide you with materials to help you announce this new benefit to new hires and existing team members.

4. We'll check in periodically to assess your evolving needs and schedule visits and virtual activities to engage your team members.

Contact us at [email protected] for more information or to schedule a meeting.

You should receive a response from a CAFCU representative within 24-48 business hours.

Our financial wellness experts are available to give presentations on-site to your employees about financial health and provide financial education on topics ranging from identity theft, budgeting, credit reports and more. 

These on-site presentations are an important benefit to helping your employees become financially stronger.

A CAFCU Representative will administer these presentations and be available to enroll employees and answer any financial questions. We will provide you with all the materials to announce our financial on-site visit. All we ask is your aid in distributing them and a modest amount of introductory administration such as processing direct deposit/payroll allocation.

Check out our one-stop resource for partner company employees to engage with their financial wellness benefit: cafcu.org/yourbenefit.
