About Credit Union 1

Our Mission: To exceed your expectations in our delivery of innovative financial solutions to help you achieve your maximum economic potential. Core Values: Be Great. Be Engaged. Be Open. Be Nice. Our History: In 1958, Chanute Military Credit Union opened its doors on the Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois to serve military personnel and their families. With the government's announcement of plans to close the Chanute Air Force Base, plans were made to expand the credit union in order to continue to serve those faithful military members. As a result, the field of membership was expanded and we changed our name to Credit Union 1 in 1982. In 1999, we combined forces with Paysaver Credit Union, headquartered in Lombard, Illinois. Today we serve over 87,000 members throughout the state of Illinois and Indiana, as well as worldwide. Become a Member: Becoming a member at Credit Union 1 is easy!
