On June 15, 1954, B&V Credit Union was organized by a group of Black & Veatch employees for the benefit of fellow employees and their families. The first annual meeting held in October reported 66 active members with share totaling $2,051 and loans of $1,460. Many new services and programs have been established however the original principles that the founding members wished to achieve still apply - "service and convenience," PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. The Credit Union's strength and success is attributed to those members who volunteer their time and knowledge to build and maintain a secure financial institution.
