Proud Moments

On Thursday, November 14, 2019, MPS Credit Union celebrated being awarded the prestigious national Juntos Avanzamos designation by Inclusiv. In recognition of the honor, community members, business partners, MPS Credit Union employees, Inclusiv executives, and local dignitaries gathered at the Credit Union for a proclamation ceremony.

Jace B. Reyes, (President & CEO, MPS Credit Union) said, “Our commitment as a CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) and Low-Income designated credit union is to serve the underserved in our communities. The diversity of our community is one of our greatest assets and the Juntos Avanzamos designation signifies our commitment to meeting the needs of everyone in our community.

In September 2015, we were granted a low-income designation by the National Credit Union Administration. The designation comes with regulatory benefits to help us better serve those most in need of banking services— those with fewer check cashing, savings or loan resources, or are in need of greater financial education.
