As a member-owned state trade association, the Ohio Credit Union League is committed to our members. We will uphold our fundamental responsibility to actively serve our membership, and as appropriate, the communities they live in.

We look for better ways to reach out to the un- or underserved through our credit unions. And we will continually, in all facets of operations, demonstrate the value of membership in the Ohio Credit Union League. We will monitor and communicate our service to our member credit unions, so that affiliates, potential affiliates, legislators, regulators, and the community at large will understand and appreciate the unique role that member-owned financial cooperatives play in their lives. Throughout the Ohio Credit Union League’s strategic plan, we put forth every effort to enable our members to continue to be financially self-sufficient and successful.
