As we grow, so does our commitment to you

Centra Credit Union Headquarters

You are the future of Centra Credit Union. You, your families, your children’s families, are the reason Centra exists today and why we need to ensure Centra’s success in the future. More than 77 years ago, when eight employees of Cummins Engine Company started our credit union with little more than a cigar box and a few dollars, those founding Members had a goal. That goal was to provide for low cost credit and a convenient place to save money.

That goal hasn’t changed, but it has come to mean so much more. In today’s world, our Members need robust banking technology, convenient and personalized service, and competitive products and services designed to meet everyone’s needs. Supporting this goal now takes much more than a cigar box. It takes an entire team of professionals – from those who serve you in our branches and contact center to those who work behind the scenes to support your banking needs.

Centra currently serves over 144,000 Members through 23 branch locations and a large contact center. The Credit Union has opened two new branches in the past three years and we have plans to open more. We’re here now to serve you and your family, just as Centra Credit Union has done for generations. And we want to be here for generations to come as well. To do that, we have to prepare for the future by positioning Centra for continued growth. As Centra grows across south central Indiana, our team behind the scenes grows too. To support this growth, Centra will be building a new Corporate Headquarters.

For more than a year, Centra has been researching the best options to meet our needs for office space while respecting the Credit Union’s responsibility to our Members. We have come to the conclusion that our best option is to build a new Corporate Headquarters Building on property we already own in Columbus. The new building will provide the space we need now and provide for additional growth in the future, while remaining committed to our local community. We will keep our Corporate Headquarters and decision-making right here where it belongs – in the same community as our Members.

Sincerely,

Rick Silvers
