When you take a look at the history of Metro Health Services Federal Credit Union, you discover that our story is really a tale of two financial institutions. Over 60 years ago (1951), Safeway Food Stores of Omaha was granted a charter to form a credit union designed to serve the financial needs of their employees. A short while later (1952), employees of the University of Nebraska Medical Center came upon a similar idea, that creating a credit union would provide both themselves and their co-workers with an alternative for value-priced financial services. With that, the University of Nebraska Medical Center Federal Credit Union was born. Metro Health Services Federal Credit Union operates (as defined by our charter) as a Select Employer Group institution. Meaning, those eligible for membership come from a list of approved companies outlined by our charter. Metro Credit Union was originally formed by the merger of two credit unions (University of Nebraska Medical Center & Safeway Food Stores) so many of these approved companies come from both the food and health industries.
