Metro Credit Union Foundation
Invested In Our Communities
Giving back has always been a part of Metro Credit Union. That's why we've launched the Metro Credit Union Foundation. Established in 2023, the mission of the Metro Credit Union Foundation is to invest in organizations, initiatives, and programs that contribute to the economic and social well-being of local communities and their residents.
