Cardinal Credit Union has been providing financial services to employees of various companies and organizations in the Mentor/Cleveland area for more than half a century. We were initially organized in 1953 to serve the employees of the Mentor Public School System. Today we are a community chartered credit union serving citizens in Lake, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Ashtabula, Portage, Summit, Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana counties.
Cardinal is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by its members. This means that as a credit union member, you are never a customer, but a full partner and owner. The credit union motto “People Helping People” is demonstrated in every transaction that takes place at Cardinal. We promise each member personalized service and individualized financial attention.
We offer a full range of financial products and pride ourselves on offering the best possible rates and services to its member-owners. Choose from a wide variety of deposit services that include Savings Accounts, Checking Accounts, Money Market Accounts, IRA’s, and Share Certificates of Deposit (CD’s) from 3 to 60 months. We offer Loans, from New and Used Autos to First Mortgages, Home Equity to VISA® Credit Cards, and Signature Loans. Many other no cost or low cost services are offered, including VISA Debit Cards, Money Orders, 24-Hour ATMs, our easy-to-use website, and much more.
To become a member, you only need a minimum $5.00 deposit into a Savings Account. That first deposit provides you with immediate access to the many products and services available at Cardinal Credit Union. Membership has its privileges, and you retain those privileges throughout your life. Once a member, always a member! In addition, all relatives of current members can become members regardless of residency.
