The Credit Union of Emporia was formed in 1953 by seven Santa Fe Railroad employees. It was originally called the “Emporia Santa Fe Credit Union”. In 1985, the members voted to change the name to “Credit Union of Emporia” to better reflect the membership, which represents many of the Lyon County employee groups. In 2014, we broadened our membership to cover any person or organization that lives, works, or worships in Lyon, Osage, Wabaunsee, Coffey, Chase, Morris and Greenwood counties.
