Why join the Franciscan Skemp Credit Union?

Franciscan Skemp Credit Union is a cooperative financial institution. It is owned and controlled by the people, our members, who use its services.
We are a not-for-profit institution, and exist to provide a safe, convenient place for our members to save money and to get loans at reasonable rates.
Unlike other financial institutions, that are in business to make a profit for their stockholders, your Credit Union exists to serve you and other members.

Safe? Yes, because your money is insured.

Deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), administered by the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the federal government. Each Member's deposits are insured to at least $250,000.

History

Franciscan Skemp Credit Union, as it is now known, has been serving its members since September 21, 1967. First organized under the name St. Francis Hospital Employees Credit Union, the field of membership included employees of St. Francis Hospital and their immediate families. A hand full of forward thinking, dedicated employees with the support of several Franciscan Sisters recognized the need for a financial entity centered on the philosophy of "the common good". Their hard work, enthusiasm, and extraordinary vision allowed the 55 original members (each buying a $.25 share in the credit union during its first month) to grow to more than 2900 members with over $20 million in assets.

Franciscan Skemp Credit Union has undergone many changes as its field of membership has grown. The name has changed as has its location, from a utility closet in the main hospital building, a former patient room, a former priest's bedroom, and the labor and delivery room in the old St. Anne's hospital building. In November 2005, the credit union moved to its present location at 605 West Avenue South in La Crosse. This is the first location actually owned and designed by and for the members, to better meet their financial needs. The new building now offers a drive-thru, member parking, enhanced handicap access and extended hours of operation never before possible in our previous locations.
