About Midwest Members Credit Union
Midwest Members Credit Union was founded in January of 1935, as Shell Wood River Federal Credit Union, to serve the Shell Refinery employees and their families with low-cost financial services. Since that time, they have changed their name and moved to a community charter which allowed them to open their charter to serve 10 counties around the Metro East.
The founding members of the credit union had the vision to invest in the financial future of the communities we serve. They are proud of that history and look forward to honoring that vision by serving more neighbors. MMCU invites you to share in that vision as we embark on this new journey together!
