It is common to see your bank teller, investment officer, or bank chairman at the grocery store, local events, or schools.

Callahan & Associates awarded Linn Area Credit Union with their #1 nation ranking for credit unions. The award reflects Linn Area Credit Union’s consistent value that they provide to their members. They have helped their community grow by providing accessible banking services with competitive rates. Because they are a non-for-profit credit union, they are driven by their mission to take care of their members rather than make money for themselves. 

Historically, Linn Area Credit Union was known as the Cedar Rapids Teachers’ Credit Union. The credit union was founded in 1935. It now has five branches in the area and serves the entire community. Today they have over 25,000 members, which still makes them small enough to know each of their members by name.  Calahann and Associates ranked Linn Area Credit Union as #1 nationwide out of 4,000 credit unions.

This credit union started out as a teachers’ credit union and they have carried their value for education with them to the present day. They have resources available for educators in their community. Giving back to their community is a clear priority to them because they helped hundreds of local nonprofits with financial contributions and volunteer work. They focus their charitable donations on programs that benefit families, children, small businesses, and education. Linn Area Credit Union founded and manages the Teacher Store. The Teacher Store provides classrooms with free supplies. A lot of teachers pay for materials out of their own pockets, and so the credit union stepped up to help out.
