About Us
Catholic Aid Association Credit Union was chartered by the State of Minnesota in May 2001. For more than 131 years, the Catholic Aid Association has successfully focused on providing quality life insurance products; secure savings choices and tremendous fraternal programs and benefits for their members. In the early 1990s, the Catholic Aid Association, striving to provide more value to its membership, embarked on a plan to form a Foundation and a Credit Union. The Catholic Aid Association Foundation was formed in 1997 to promote fraternalism and charity and to support the Roman Catholic Church. The Credit Union was formed in 2001 to provide excellent financial products and services to Catholic Aid Association members and their families. Credit Unions were formed as member-owned cooperatives organized to promote thrift and make loans from accumulated savings. Credit unions are not in business for profit, but for service. They encourage members to accumulate savings out of income as a means of building economic security for themselves and their families, ultimately helping them help themselves to a greater degree of financial stability. Members save in a variety of savings accounts and that money, in turn, is borrowed to other members. After operating expenses and reserve requirements are met, loan income is returned to all members in the form of dividends and other services. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a federal agency, insures each member's funds up to $250,000. This is an aggregate limit for all savings, checking and certificate products. In addition to individual NCUA coverage, account held jointly, in revocable trust accounts and in IRA accounts carry separate insurance protection up to $250,000 each.
