Community Choice Credit Union, formerly known as State Employees Credit Union, was established in 1953 to serve employees of the State of Iowa and their family members. During the first 47 years of service, CCCU has undergone several changes to its initial charter. In addition to our original membership base, we are now able to serve anyone who resides – more... in the state of Iowa who is blind or who was a member of an Iowa organization of blind persons, and several whole or partially state-funded agencies such as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th Judicial districts, Department of Correction employees, Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium (CIETC), the Iowa State Fair Board, and InterUrban Assistance Program. We also opened membership to employees of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa and the community colleges. In the past few years we have added employees of the Iowa Foundation for Medical Care, City of Clive, University Park Holiday Inn, and Embassy Suites by the River as our partners. Family membership is also included for all these groups.
The year 1996 proved to be one of many significant changes. We were approved for a community charter with the Iowa Credit Union Division and since that time we have expanded membership to anyone living or working in Adair, Boone, Clarke, Dallas, Greene, Guthrie, Hamilton, Hardin, Jasper, Lucas, Madison, Mahaska, Marion, Marshall, Monroe, Polk, Poweshiek, Story, Union, and Warren Counties, and their family members. With the change to a "community" credit union came our name change to State Employees Community Credit Union. In June 2000, we changed our name to Community Choice Credit Union to reflect our commitment to the community of Central Iowa, as well as, the community of State of Iowa Employees.
CCCU, an operation that once began in the back room of an office in the Capitol complex, is now a multimillion-dollar operation. We currently have five locations in the Des Moines metro area. Our Downtown office is located on Lyon Street near the Capitol, our Clive office is on the west side on 114th Street, our Johnston office is located at the corner of 86th Street and N.W. 62nd Avenue, our Altoona office is located at 3160 8th St SW in Altoona, and our Mercy Hospital office is located at 411 Laurel St, Suite 2208 in Des Moines.
