Ripco - The Right Choice
Not-for-Profit - Because Ripco Credit Union is a not-for-profit cooperative, we operate solely to serve our members. In fact, every decision at Ripco Credit Union is made with our members’ financial well-being in mind. That means our fees are lower, our rates are better, and our service can’t be beat.
You're More - Shouldn’t you be more than a credit score? We listen to, and care about our members. We get to know your story because we believe your credit union should be a financial partner. A partner that is there for you whether you are thriving financially or facing a financial setback. We’ll do everything we can to figure it out together - good or bad.
I have been a member for 22 years. What I adore most about Ripco is their unconditional support for the businesses and the communities they reside in. Ripco is so much more than just a financial institution, and members are so much more than just a transaction. Ripco goes above and beyond striving to make our communities stronger and successful and for that I am extremely grateful; not only as a member, but also a small business.
Member Owned & Operated - The Board of Directors are elected by the members, and each member has an equal vote. Because our member's are the owners we focus heavily on providing outstanding personalized service, lower fees, better rates, financial education and a customer-focused banking experience; all while demonstrating an attitude of excellence.
Members old and new, you'll love what Ripco does for you!

Customer Identification Program (CIP) Notice
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
Ready for membership?
Easy online application. Click below to get started.
We’ve added the “fine print” below*, but if you’re wondering about eligibility, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to figure it out for you!
*Immediate family members are defined as the spouse, parents, children, stepparents, stepchildren, grandparents and grandchildren. Any other relative of a person eligible for membership is eligible for membership his or her self if the relative resides in the same household as the eligible person.
Once your eligibility is established, it just takes a $5.00 deposit or “purchase” of at least one share in the credit union. The par value of one share is $5.00, and although the money you pay for your first share remains yours, you must leave it in your primary savings account to maintain your membership.
