Cooperative Credit Union

What Cooperative Credit Union does

Cooperative Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit credit union founded in 1937 and headquartered in a single branch at 313 West 9th St., Coffeyville, Kansas. It serves individuals and families in Coffeyville and surrounding areas with a full suite of consumer banking products: deposit accounts (savings, checking), consumer loans (auto, personal, home, credit cards), recreational vehicle financing (RV, boat, ATV/powersports, classic car), student loans (via SallieMae), and protection products (GAP insurance up to $50,000, credit life and disability insurance). An alternative lending product (CUALS) provides quick emergency cash access, and a children's financial education app (My First Nest Egg) extends the franchise beyond traditional banking.

The technology stack is built on third-party infrastructure rather than proprietary systems: online banking is delivered through Mobicint (mobicint.net/coo), the website is powered by OMNICOMMANDER, and mobile apps are available on iOS and Android. Auto loan acquisition is supported by the AutoLink vehicle shopping tool and Carfax vehicle history integration, creating a funnel from vehicle research to financing. Digital channels (website, online banking, mobile apps) supplement the single physical branch, and the institution relies on community presence and word-of-mouth rather than paid acquisition.

Revenue is generated primarily through loan interest income (auto, mortgage, personal, credit cards, recreational), insurance premiums (GAP, credit life), deposit account fees, and partnership/referral income from SallieMae student loans and CUALS alternative lending. As a credit union, profits are not distributed to outside shareholders; surpluses are reinvested in member rates, services, and the cooperative model. Competitive posture is anchored in NCUA insurance, Equal Housing Lender status, local community trust built over 87 years, and pricing on core products (auto loans as low as 2.00% APR, personal at 9.90%, home at 5.87%, credit cards at 12.90%).
