Urban Upbound Credit Union VISTA
 
 
 
The Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union offers affordable and relevant financial services including access to capital, asset building vehicles and ownership stakes to its members. In 2010, Urban Upbound, then known as ERDA, mobilized residents to bring a credit union to public housing neighborhoods in Long Island City. At the time it was the first credit union to open in Queens in 30 years. Today the Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union provides capital, credit-building loans and other asset-building services. Its members, comprised largely of public housing residents, enjoy an ownership stake. A source of community pride, the Urban Upbound Credit Union’s rallying cry is “I Own It!” What’s more, by keeping assets locally owned and controlled, the Credit Union is an economic anchor. It is helping to ensure that as Long Island City continues to change, that growth benefits all residents.
