Clean Energy Credit Union is Federally insured by the NCUA Clean Energy Credit Union was started by a group of people who are passionate about promoting clean energy in order to protect our environment and improve our economy. Instead of starting a “green bank,” we chose to take an innovative approach to a proven, cooperative business model (i.e. a credit union) to help propagate the multiple benefits of both clean energy and cooperatives: mitigate climate change, reduce pollution, improve public health, create jobs, build community wealth, promote democratic organizations, improve national security, increase energy independence, promote personal financial independence, and more. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find affordable financing when purchasing a clean energy product or service. Current financing options are more expensive than they should be, partly because clean energy markets are relatively new and unfamiliar to most traditional financiers (e.g. banks and other credit unions) which can typically provide the lowest rates. We’re changing that! Clean Energy Credit Union's mission is to promote clean energy, environmental stewardship, and cooperative enterprises through the financial services we provide to our members. In pursuing its mission, Clean Energy Credit Union accelerates consumers’ adoption of clean energy by offering customized loans that are specifically tailored to – and that reduce the cost of – clean energy products and services. Clean Energy Credit Union also makes it easy for everyone to directly invest in the clean energy movement by offering deposit opportunities that have low minimum thresholds (e.g. $5) and that are federally insured (i.e. lower risk than other investment opportunities, and don’t require sophisticated financial expertise or due diligence). Ultimately, we want to make it easier for everyone to use and to invest in clean energy in order to help protect our environment and improve our economy.
