History edit

Consumers Credit Union was founded in 1951 under the name Kalamazoo Consumers Power Company (KCPC) Employees Federal Credit Union, a credit union for employees of Consumers Energy.[2][3] Consumers became a state-chartered credit union in 1964 and its services grew to include employees of the Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert, Michigan.[4]

The name changed in 1987 to its current Consumers Credit Union.[5] In 1988, they began allowing employees of companies located in the city of Kalamazoo to become members.[4]

In 2017, Consumers Credit Union moved their headquarters into The Groves Engineering Business Technology Park in Kalamazoo.[1]
