A credit union is a nonprofit, member-owned financial institution committed to supporting its members and local community. Unlike traditional banks, credit unions focus on people over profits, offering competitive rates, financial benefits, and personalized service. Their mission is to help members reach their financial goals while strengthening the communities they serve.
In October 1933, a small group of Conoco employees in Ponca City organized the Conoco Employees (PC) Credit Union, at that time only the second credit union chartered in Oklahoma. We retained that name until July 1994, when it was changed to Cherokee Strip Credit Union (CSCU).
