PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE

Why being a CDFI matters to Memphis City Employees Credit Union -- and you.

As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), MCECU is mission driven. We are dedicated to providing financial services that meet the needs of everyone we serve – including people and communities typically underserved by traditional banks.

A building drawing with the words Credit Union.

We are proud to be a CDFI for the Memphis region. We believe CDFIs should be defined by what they do, not just where they are located.
