Metro Credit Union
About
Metro Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative serving Reading and the surrounding area through its network of Greater Boston branches. It began in 1926 when 35 members and clerks in Chelsea came together with $2,000 to serve their neighbors, and it has grown into the largest state-chartered credit union in Massachusetts. Its guiding philosophy is “people helping people,” with an emphasis on helping members make informed, confident financial decisions.
Members can choose from checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, mortgages, home equity lines and education financing, plus business banking services. Metro invests in digital tools while keeping a personal approach, and its experts guide borrowers through each step of a loan. Financial education is part of the offering, and the credit union stays connected to local communities through branch offices, staff volunteering and direct support of nonprofits.
