ABOUT COMMUNITYAMERICA

History

CommunityAmerica has deep roots in the community. The Credit Union began on March 19, 1940 as TWA Club Credit Union. TWA pilot George Duvall founded the credit union because he felt TWA employees would appreciate this added benefit.

TWA Club Credit Union began with working capital of only $1,069. The first loans were made to employees for $5 until payday with five cents charged for interest. By the end of the first year, the Credit Union had grown to have more than $20,000 in assets and 644 members.

The Credit Union continued to grow and prosper through the years. In 1992, TWA Club Credit Union changed its name to Members America Credit Union. In 1998, Members America Credit Union joined forces with Yellow Financial Credit Union creating one of the largest credit unions in the country.

In November 2007, CommunityAmerica merged with Midwest United Credit Union. Based on deposits, CommunityAmerica ranks among the top 10 Kansas City-based financial institutions.

As a community-based credit union, CommunityAmerica offers its outstanding products and services to a wide range of customers and their families.
