Ever think about a credit union?
If you haven’t thought about what your money's up to in a while, it’s worth considering. Here, your savings grow faster, your loans cost less, and whatever we make gets reinvested in your community.
A simple idea, built to last.
Lloyd F. Hutt founded LMCU in 1933 as the Grand Rapids Teachers Credit Union on one idea: pool resources, help each other, keep the benefits inside the group. The scale has changed — 665,000+ members, 74 branches, $13.1 billion in loans funded. Our focus on you hasn’t.
Banking is just the beginning.
In 2025, LMCU logged 14,608 volunteer hours at 385+ nonprofits and donated $4 million to organizations doing real good. Teacher grants, student scholarships, and free classroom supplies: it all happens when you center your mission on making a really meaningful difference for real people.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
75 branches. A full-featured mobile app. Checking, savings, mortgages, auto loans, business banking, investment services, and insurance — all under one membership. Modern tools, real people, and a banking experience built for you.
