History

Commonwealth Credit Union was founded on April 2, 1951, with $2,700 in assets and 122 members. By 1976, membership had grown to nearly 6,000 and its assets to $2.8 million. Commonwealth absorbed the Kentucky Teachers and Associated Employees Credit Union in 1983.[4][5]

Commonwealth hosts an annual charity run that benefits charities in Kentucky[6] as well as an annual "Stuff the Bus" campaign to provide local schools with school supplies.[7]

In November 2015, Commonwealth became the preferred credit union partner for the University of Louisville.[8] In 2017, Commonwealth became the official credit union of Rupp Arena.[9]
