Who We Are


Our History

At Advantage Credit Union, we treat our members like they own the place because they do!

Come join a part of something great! Advantage Credit Union membership is available to anyone who lives or works in Jasper County or 18 other counties in Central Iowa. In 1937, 14 individuals signed the articles of incorporation to form a credit union then called Local 1116 UERMWA Credit Union. The credit union started from small beginnings with member-owners pooling their savings together so that other members could borrow money.

Over 80 years later, Advantage Credit Union is open to employees and residents of 19 Iowa counties. While the balance sheet is now much more complicated and diverse, the credit union is still structured on the same foundation that it was in 1937 with our members being the only owners and pooling their resources to meet savings and lending needs as well as a wide array of other modern products and services.


Why ACU?

Come join a part of something great!

We have been serving our Member/Owners for over 80 years.  While there have been many changes over the years, we still operate under the credit union philosophy of "People Helping People."

At Advantage Credit Union, we encourage our members to save so they can build economic security for themselves and their families. In addition, we provide consumer and home mortgage loans as well as many other money-saving and convenience-oriented advantages and benefits.

If you aren't an Advantage Credit Union Member yet, we invite you to become a member and own a part of something great!
