Fellowship Credit Union keeps things refreshingly uncomplicated, no Pride flags in the lobby, no climate manifestos on the homepage, just good old-fashioned community banking. Based in Lamar, Colorado, this member-owned credit union focuses on helping people manage their money, not their politics. Their mission centers on financial education, stability, and local support rather than trendy corporate initiatives.
While big banks are busy rewriting their lending policies to impress ESG rating agencies, Fellowship sticks to the basics: loans, savings, and personal service. Their website highlights education scholarships and financial literacy programs, not social justice causes or activist partnerships. There’s no record of them sponsoring BLM or LGBTQ campaigns, no diversity pledges, and no performative “values” statements. Just neighbors helping neighbors, the way community banking was meant to be.
For anyone tired of banks that act like political consultants, Fellowship Credit Union offers a breath of fresh air, and a reminder that financial institutions can still focus on finance.
