Englewood Branch Closed May 31^st:

The Englewood branch location has permanently closed on May 31, 2019. In 2013, with great excitement, the Englewood Municipal Employees Federal Credit Union was merged into Colorado Credit Union. During the merger discussions, we made a commitment to continue branch operations for three years inside the Civic Center building. We exceeded our commitment and operated for more than five years at this location. Unfortunately, the economics for operating this branch haven’t come to fruition and the difficult decision has been made to close the Englewood branch. Current members that utilized the Englewood branch can continue to bank with Colorado Credit Union. CCU has all the current technologies needed for branch-free banking and in-person banking is still available at other CCU branches and at 5,900+ Co-Op Shared Branch locations.
