When comparing health insurance plans, the monthly premium is only part of the cost.

Why Rock Island? Because the West End already has the people, leadership and vision building a stronger future.

Ascentra’s role is to listen, partner and invest alongside the community.

Long before construction began on our new Rock Island branch, we were building relationships with neighborhood leaders and community partners, supporting financial wellness programs and investing in local organizations. Our new branch is the next step in that commitment.

It’s what “people helping people” looks like and why we believe people should always come before profit.

Rock Island’s West End is home to families, entrepreneurs, nonprofits and neighborhood leaders who are already working to build a stronger future. What has too often been missing is convenient access to a trusted, full-service financial institution prepared to invest alongside them.

When young people have safe, welcoming spaces to learn, create and connect, they have more opportunities to thrive. 🧡

Ascentra Credit Union is proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Valley with a $22,000 donation that helped provide new furniture and carpeting for the organization’s Learning Center and Art Room.

These updated spaces will give local youth comfortable places to focus on academics, explore their creativity, build friendships and connect with positive mentors.

We’re grateful for the work Boys & Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Valley does every day to create opportunities for young people throughout our community — and we’re honored to play a small part in supporting that work.
