UW Credit Union

Founded in 1931, UW Credit Union now has more than 210,000 members and assets totaling $2.1 billion.  Committed to education, the credit union offers free financial education seminars to the general public and has created a $1.5 million fund through which it offers needs-based scholarships to dozens of Wisconsin students each year.  Also focused on environmental sustainability, UW Credit Union purchases 100 percent of its branches’ electricity from renewable resources, follows LEED certification guidelines for all new construction and remodeling projects, and has taken numerous steps to reduce its waste stream, as well as water and paper usage.
