Celebrating 75 Years

Proudly Serving Our Communities Since 1951

75 years of local roots.

For 75 years, Metro Credit Union has been rooted in the communities we serve. We are a financial partner that understands our members, supports them, and grows alongside them.

A yearlong celebration.

Throughout our anniversary year, members can look forward to a variety of activities and moments designed to celebrate our community, give back locally, and highlight the people and relationships behind Metro. Together, we celebrate where we have been, honor the trust our members place in us, and look ahead to what is next.

75 Years of Purpose. One Local Advantage.

From a local need to a local institution.

What began in 1951 on the campus of what is now the University of Nebraska Medical Center has grown into a trusted local credit union serving more than 44,000 members across the Omaha metropolitan area.

Built for today, grounded in community.

Today, Metro operates five full-service branches, offers modern digital banking tools, and continues to prioritize a strong member experience without losing sight of the community focus that started it all.

Celebrating All Year Long.

More than a milestone.

Our 75th anniversary is more than a single moment. It is a yearlong celebration of our members, our communities, and the relationships that define Metro.

What members can expect.

Throughout the year, members can look forward to:

Special Anniversary Member Days 

In-branch celebrations at all five locations, featuring prizes, treats, and surprises.

Anniversary Activities and Experiences

A variety of activities and moments throughout the year designed to celebrate our members and the community we share.

Giving Back

Throughout the year, we will look for meaningful ways to give back to the community that has supported Metro for 75 years. This community is our home.

Check back regularly for updates and upcoming anniversary activities as we celebrate this milestone together.

Heart Ministry Center

In honor of National Volunteer Month, Metro employees spent a morning serving at Heart Ministry Center as part of our Days of Service. Our team helped shoppers navigate the pantry and loaded groceries through the Choice Food Distribution Program, connecting with the community surrounding our Fontenelle branch. It was a meaningful reminder of the impact that comes from showing up for our community, and we're grateful to Heart Ministry Center for the work they do every day.

75th Anniversary Member Days

Member Days has come to a close, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who stopped in to celebrate with us.

Over five days across all five full-service Metro Credit Union branches, we had the joy of seeing so many familiar faces and welcoming new ones. Whether you came in for a commemorative T-shirt, winter gear, snacks, or all three, we hope you felt what we intended: a genuine thank you for 75 years of trust and membership.

You are the reason Metro Credit Union has thrived for three quarters of a century, and moments like Member Days remind us why we love what we do.

Our 75th anniversary celebration is far from over. We'll be adding new activities and special moments throughout the year, so check back often to see what's coming up next.

A Message from Our CEO

A milestone worth recognizing.

This year marks Metro Credit Union’s 75th anniversary. That is a milestone worth recognizing.

A purpose that has not changed.

Metro was formed to meet a need. In 1951, a handful of individuals came together to create a credit union focused on providing value and treating people fairly. That purpose has not changed. While our size, tools, and services have evolved over time, our focus remains on serving members and delivering a strong member experience rooted in local decision making.

Built on loyalty and trust.

I have been a member for 38 of our 75 years, and during that time I have seen firsthand the loyalty our members show and the trust they place in us. Many members have been with Metro for decades, and that loyalty is a big reason we are here today. Celebrating 75 years is an opportunity to thank them and to recognize the relationships that have shaped who we are.

Looking ahead.

Throughout the year, we will recognize this anniversary in ways that reflect our appreciation for our members and our commitment to the communities we serve. While it is important to look back, it is just as important to look ahead. Our responsibility is to continue earning our members’ trust by staying focused on value, accountability, and the member experience.

Thank you for choosing Metro Credit Union and for being part of our story.

Mike McDermott

President and CEO

75 Years of Purpose. One Local Advantage.

How it started.

Seventy-five years ago, a small group of employees on the University of Nebraska College of Medicine campus, the institution that would later become the University of Nebraska Medical Center, saw a need and decided to act. In 1951, they formed an employee credit union to serve the broader campus community.

That same year, a group of Safeway grocery store employees also came together to form a credit union to serve grocery store employees and their families. In both cases, the goal was straightforward: to create a financial institution designed around people and to offer a more personal banking experience for coworkers and neighbors.

A shared future.

In 1982, those two credit unions combined to form what is known today as Metro Credit Union. While the structure and name evolved over time, the purpose behind the credit union did not. From the beginning, Metro has focused on trust, value, local decision making, and relationships built to last.

A member experience that evolves.

Metro was created to offer a different kind of banking experience. One designed around the member experience, where people feel comfortable asking questions, confident in their choices, and supported through both everyday needs and important life moments.

Over the past 75 years, the financial landscape has changed and so have the needs of our members. Our purpose has been to evolve alongside them. That experience is shaped through daily interactions and long-term relationships, guided by thoughtful decisions and a commitment to continually improving the member experience.

What Your Local Advantage® means.

It means banking with an organization rooted in the same communities as its members. It means keeping decisions close to home and reinvesting resources to improve the member experience over time. It is not about being the biggest or the flashiest. It is about being present, reliable, and accountable.

Why it matters.

Over the years, Metro has been part of many important moments in our members’ lives, including buying homes, financing vehicles, saving for the future, and navigating unexpected changes. Each of these moments represents trust, and trust is something we work to earn every day.

Looking forward together.

As we mark our 75th anniversary, our greatest appreciation goes to our members.

  • Thank you for choosing Metro Credit Union.
  • Thank you for trusting us with your financial journey.
  • Thank you for holding us to a high standard.

Looking ahead, Metro remains committed to delivering a banking experience shaped by local perspective, strong relationships, and continued progress in the member experience. While tools and technology will evolve, our focus will remain on creating an experience that feels approachable, dependable, and grounded in the community we share.

And while reflection matters, so does looking forward. Throughout our anniversary year, we look forward to celebrating with our members and sharing meaningful moments along the way as we say thank you for being part of Metro’s story.

Seventy-five years later, we remain focused on the same goal that started it all: being a credit union people trust, value, and choose.


  • I've been with Metro for 23 years, starting when I worked for Nebraska Med. They've always worked with me through everything. I'm set for life with my credit union.

  • I've been a member for over 20 years, starting when I worked at Clarkson Hospital. We've always found Metro's rates to be among the best in the area. When my kids were young, they loved the member appreciation events. Now my son and daughter-in-law are members too.
    Rachel W.
  • I first joined Metro in 1978 and was approved to buy my first home. In 1990, when the chance came to buy my neighbor's house, I was able to sell mine and get a new loan through Metro. As a single mom working at a grocery store, I never dreamed I'd qualify for a home loan. I'm still a member today, and I'm so grateful they trusted me. Member for 48 years.

  • I joined Metro in 1986 while working as a chaplain at Midlands Hospital in Papillon. At the time, our paychecks were deposited directly at Metro, which meant no more picking up checks late or driving them to another bank. It was a game changer. In the years since, I've gotten car loans, set up online banking, and gotten help with Visa cards, all without hassle or extra costs. I've moved all over the country in the past 40 years, but I've always stayed with Metro.
