About CME
A HISTORY OF BUILDING BETTER FUTURES FOR OUR MEMBERS
CME Federal Credit Union was established in 1935 to serve first responders in Columbus. A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to the financial futures of our members is as strong as the day we started. Today, we're proud to extend that commitment to everyone who lives, works, worships, volunteers, or attends school in Central Ohio.
THE DIFFERENCE OF A CREDIT UNION
Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives. We exist to serve our members. Our earnings are returned to them through lower loan rates, higher interest on savings products, and lower fees. Wondering what the differences are between a credit union and a bank?

“I put $14,000 down on my car loan, then it was totaled five months later. With Depreciation Protection CME paid $10,000 to my loan balance which meant I got to keep most of the money from my insurance company!”
