Centris Federal Credit Union Business Credit Cards

In 1934 the employees started their credit union with less than $50 in deposits and by the end of 1934, our asset size had grown to $664. The maximum secured loan was $50 and the maximum unsecured loan was $25. Back then, the credit union was open for only a half hour one day per week or by special appointment. As times and economic circumstances changed over the years, so did our name. From the Omaha Telephone Employees Federal Credit Union in 1934 to Bell Federal Credit Union in 1974 to Centris Federal Credit Union in 2000, we’ve kept up with the changing economic environments and our changing membership groups. In the beginning, we served only employees of Northwestern Bell Telephone, but now we serve a broad base of members who work or reside in several different Nebraska and Iowa communities. This new broader member base is much more diversified and inclusive, but we’re still proud to have a percentage of telephone employee members after all these years.

Centris was founded by members who felt their needs were not being met by other financial institutions. Their solution was to create a credit union where they and other members could have a lifelong financial partner to help them meet their needs and learn how to manage money for their benefit. While Centris Federal Credit Union has grown greatly over the years and now offers our members many financial options that didn’t exist in 1934, we still remain true to the principles upon which we were founded. We are here to serve you and assist you in achieving your financial needs and goals.
