Vicinity unveils new name and launches cutting-edge website

Vicinity Credit Union, formerly known as United Credit Union, is excited to announce its official rebranding and the launch of its new, state-of-the-art website.

Founded in 1930 within the halls of a Chicago high school by 15 visionary teachers, Vicinity Credit Union has always been more than just a financial institution – it’s a community cornerstone. Originally established as Union Teachers Credit Union, it evolved into United Credit Union in 1986 upon earning a community charter, broadening its reach and impact.

As Vicinity Credit Union, the name captures its mission and deep-rooted connections within Chicago’s vibrant neighborhoods. It serves as a renewed commitment to being at the heart of the communities the credit union serve.

“Vicinity reflects our mission to be a close and trusted partner in every neighborhood, helping our members achieve their financial goals and build a stronger community together,” said Vicinity CEO Mario Aguirre.
