Who we are:
Founded in 1979 to serve members of the Denver Bar Association, Options Credit Union began as a financial institution created by and for legal professionals. In 2004 we expanded our field of membership to include the broader legal community and became Legal Community Credit Union of Colorado. In 2016, to better reflect the flexibility and service excellence our members expect, we re-branded as Options Credit Union.
What sets Options Credit Union apart from banks - and even other credit unions - is our unwavering commitment to our members, not profits. Our mission is to deliver accessible, affordable financial services with a personalized approach rooted in service over self-interest. As a member of Options Credit Union, you'll gain access to a range of benefits designed to support and enhance your financial well-being.
