We work hard to put money in your pocket and financial knowledge at your fingertips. And we work just as hard to make Baltimore a better place. Sure, those other guys may be bigger. But in all the ways that really count, we're committed to being better. 

You’re not just a member. You’re an owner.

Unlike traditional banks, we are 100% not-for-profit and owned by our members. Every decision we make is based on what's best for our members and our community. At MECU, you're not just an account number, you're one of us.

Local like you.

MECU was established back in 1936 right here in Baltimore. Our hometown pride runs deep, with local sponsorships, community involvement and the efforts of our MECU Foundation. Our employees even receive paid volunteer time to give back at local nonprofits. We care deeply about our community because it's our home, too.
