Going from $100 to Millions

Cyprus Credit Union has never forgotten its humble community origins. Founded in 1928 as a not-for-profit cooperative by 22 Kennecott Copper Company employees with assets totaling less than $100, Cyprus CU is the oldest active credit union in Utah with 18 locations scattered across the Salt Lake Valley serving over 98,000 members.

The area is a high-growth market, and Cyprus CU sees lending, especially commercial lending, as an important part of its business.
