OUR HISTORY
Tradesmen Community Credit Union began in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1954 as Sheetmetal Local #45's credit union. We continued to grow and offered ALL Des Moines area trade union members and their families membership opportunities. Local union contractors and their office help were also eligible to join, along with people who worked in neighborhoods near our two offices.
In September of 2000, to continue our growth and maintain our competitive edge, our Board of Directors and membership voted to finalize our application for a community charter and formally change our name to Tradesmen Community Credit Union. This important step expanded our membership eligibility to include anyone who lives or works in Central Iowa's Polk County and its seven contiguous counties.
We built our rock-solid foundation with the hard-working men and women of the local trade unions. With our community charter, we can build on that foundation to the benefit of all our members, by adding new products and services and continuing to be the full-service financial institution our members have come to rely on.
