The History of Centra Credit Union For more than 75 years, Centra Credit Union has been known for its commitment to quality service. Its roots lie in Columbus, Indiana, where eight employees of the Cummins Engine Company founded the Cummins Employees Federal Credit Union. Their goal: to identify a source of low-cost credit and a convenient place to save their hard-earned money. At their first organizational meeting, these employees set credit union policies, including a maximum deposit of $7.50 per week and an unsecured loan limit of $25. A charter was granted on October 31, 1940. In 1995, the name was changed to Centra Federal Credit Union, reflecting the company's growth and diversity. The credit union became state-chartered in 1997 and is known today as Centra Credit Union. read more
