So head to your local branch, as we will be celebrating at both Rhinelander and Eagle River branches!

A Legacy of Financial Inclusion

Before we dive into the details of Ripco's grand celebration, let's take a moment to reflect on what makes credit unions so truly exceptional. At the heart of the credit union movement is a mission. It's a mission to bring financial inclusion and well-being to the people in our communities, and all over the world. Ripco is more than just a financial institution; we stand as a steadfast pillar of community support, dedicated to helping our members and their families achieve their financial goals and dreams.

75 Years of Impact

This year's International Credit Union Day is special because it marks 75 years of dedication to this mission. For seven and a half decades, Ripco — with a legacy spanning over 90 years — has been making a difference in the lives of our members, empowering them with financial services, and fostering a sense of belonging.
