Durante 75 años…

 

Nos hemos permanecido fieles a nuestra misión: ayudar a quienes más lo necesitan, servir a los demás e inspirar. Las cooperativas de crédito son diferentes: le pertenecemos a nuestros miembros – A Usted. Brindamos oportunidades donde otros dicen que no.

 

Nuestra historia comenzó en 1950, cuando el crédito era un lujo al que pocos podían acceder. Comprar una casa o un automóvil era inalcanzable para muchos. Fue entonces cuando un grupo de empleados comprometidos de Alcoa Davenport Works (hoy Arconic), en Riverdale, Iowa, se reunió en una pequeña sala en un sótano y fundó lo que entonces se llamó Alcoa Employees Credit Union. Su objetivo era sencillo: apoyarse mutuamente. Estos voluntarios trabajaban horas adicionales para otorgar préstamos pequeños pero significativos—a veces para que un compañero pudiera comprar carbón para calefacción, otras para que una familia pudiera dar el pago inicial de una vivienda.

Hoy, 75 años después, Ascentra ha crecido y atiende a más de 40,000 miembros en 20 condados de Iowa e Illinois. Con nueve sucursales ubicadas en Clinton, Muscatine y las Quad Cities, hemos ampliado nuestro alcance—pero nuestro espíritu sigue siendo el mismo. Vivimos bajo el lema “Escuchando, atendiendo, y haciendo lo correcto.” No es solo un eslogan—es nuestra manera de responder a las necesidades de nuestros miembros y de la comunidad.

No solo ofrecemos servicios financieros; caminamos junto a nuestros miembros—guiándolos, educándolos y apoyándolos en cada paso del camino. Creemos en construir comunidades más fuertes, porque eso es lo que nos hace diferentes. Eso es lo que nos hace Ascentra.
