Elevations Credit Union (Company)

In 1953, the U. of C. Federal Credit Union was founded with 12 members and less than $100 in assets to serve the financial needs of CU Boulder staff and faculty. Today, Elevations is an award-winning Colorado financial institution with over $3 billion in assets and more than 170,000 members. While our name has changed and our credit union has grown, our focus remains on empowering our members with financial solutions and education. Elevations exists to foster growth in our community by providing members with an empowering banking experience. We’ve made a commitment to move away from a product-centered business model and focus instead on creating solutions.

Our objective is to provide our members, as well as the entire community, with unbiased consumer information. In addition to one-on-one consultations, we host dozens of free financial seminars on a wide range of subjects, and we reach thousands of K-12 students through our financial literacy programs in schools each year. After all, informed members make better decisions that benefit us all. We proudly support Elevations Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that has provided over $1.5 million in community resources since 2010. Elevations Foundation offers scholarships for local students with proven track records and financial need, community grants for nonprofits doing important work, and disaster assistance in times of need.
