Our History
In 1998, the CUNA-League system resolved to increase credit unions' involvement and advocacy efforts at the national level, marking a new chapter in the credit union movement. As part of this resolution, the construction of Credit Union House was commenced in 1999 and finally opened its doors in 2001. Today, Credit Union House serves as both an advocacy tool and a "home away from home" for credit union advocates who come to Washington, D.C., to share their message with lawmakers.
