Our Story

Banking for everyone

At Bellco Credit Union, our goal is to provide friendly service, great rates, fewer fees, and a focus on you! Bellco members experience both the member-focused approach of a local credit union along with the enhanced financial security of working with one of the largest credit unions in the State of Colorado. At Bellco, we strive to make a positive impact in our communities through helping members achieve greater financial empowerment and a better quality of life. As such, we are committed to always act with impartiality, fairness, and equity.

Bellco is different

Founded in 1936, Bellco Credit Union has over 368,000 members and over $8 billion in assets. While banks focus on their shareholders and their stock value, Bellco exists to serve our members and community, not ourselves, which means we charge you less and give you more. Unlike a for-profit bank, we return our “profits” to our members in the form of lower rates on loans, higher interest on deposits, and better services. At Bellco, we always strive to improve ourselves and our community through progressive initiatives and community outreach to create and maintain a diverse and inclusive member base. Bellco’s main focuses for community giving are education programs, local community service groups, and local arts and culture organizations.

We focus on you

Bellco places special emphasis on fair and equitable services to our members. This means great service tailored specifically to you—your needs, your wants, your dreams for your future. We’re your trusted advisor, giving you personal, professional advice on everything from buying a house or car to saving for retirement. We’re here to help you when you want to remodel your kitchen, pay for college, or take a vacation.

You’ll get complete financial services, from checking accounts and credit cards to auto loans and trust accounts. You’ll enjoy fast, friendly service—in person at 28 branch locations, over the phone, and through mobile and online banking 24/7. You’ll also have the convenience of no-fee ATMs virtually anywhere in the country.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you as the newest member of Bellco.
