Kentucky Employees Credit Union was founded in 1938 as a not for profit cooperative. The purpose of KECU was to offer state employees a convenient opportunity to save and a means to obtain credit at low interest rates. It was also a means to contribute to the comfort and well being of all employees participating. KECU’s Board of Directors and staff carries out the credit union philosophy of people helping people. Using our philosophy and our history, we will build our future and help you build yours.
