"While our name has changed over the years, the cooperative spirit remains an integral part of our philosophy today"

All the decisions at Compass Credit Union are made locally. The money stays in the local economy and benefits the counties CCU serves. 

"Making a difference in our community by providing solutions to achieve financial aspirations at any stage in life," is CCU's mission statement.

Compass Community Credit Union began as California State Employees No. 20 Credit Union in January of 1951. The credit union was formed by a group of professors and employees of Humboldt State College. Their desire was to assist each other with reasonably priced loans and a good return on their savings.



On January 29, 1979 California State Employees No. 20 Credit Union merged with the Federal Employees of Humboldt County Credit Union. The credit union then adopted the name California State & Federal Employees No. 20 Credit Union.

In 2017, the credit union was granted a field of membership expansion to serve those who live, work, or worship in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties. In 2018, the credit union changed its name to Compass Community Credit Union to better reflect this new field of membership.

"While our name has changed over the years, the cooperative spirit remains an integral part of our philosophy today," said CCU Vice President of Marketing & e-commerce Bruce Lund.

"We are here solely for the benefit of our members, to guide them to better banking products and services," said CCU Chief Executive Officer Ray Litchfield.
