In 1934, in the middle of the Great Depression, the Federal Credit Union Act became law under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This new law created extraordinary possibilities for people with common bonds to pool their relatively scarce resources for their greater good. Self-determined financing through purchases of shares in a credit union was fresh mortar for building a higher quality of life around the hardships of the Depression.
One year after the Federal Credit Union Act was on the books, an organizational meeting was held June 6, 1935 in Salem Senior High School. Twenty teachers signed the certificate and volunteered their time and talents to start Salem Public School Teachers Credit Union, benefiting all employees of Marion County Public Schools and Willamette University.
I am a firm believer in education, so I love that Maps gives back to the community in the form of grants for teachers and scholarships for students. Maps has made Salem a better place to live.
Maps is extremely inclusive, diverse, and I never feel any judgment.
Being a part of Maps Credit Union means more than just having financial services; it means being a part of a cooperative that prioritizes members’ needs and well-being.
