Overview

The credit union was founded in 1937 as Mid Cities Schools Credit Union by a group of Compton teachers. The first credit union manager, Dr. Roy Strain, was an instructor at Compton Community College and ran the credit union out of his home without compensation for many years.

That was more than 75 years ago and today, we are over $20 million in assets and serve more than 3,000 members from a spacious location in the heart of Compton, California. We are proud to be a credit union, which means we are a not-for-profit cooperative. As a result, our members receive higher earning on their deposits and have access to competitive loan rates.

Give WOW service to every credit union member, employee, partners and vendors. Proactively identify and solve problems, communicate expectations clearly and frequently, and deliver more than expected.
