Did you know that more than 80% of Metco’s new members were referred to Metco by a current member? That is a huge compliment and speaks volumes about the quality of service we provide. It’s one of the many reasons why Metco Credit Union is considered among the top in Cedar Rapids credit unions and why we’re recognized as one of the best in Iowa.

At Metco, you won’t see us sponsoring major events, running flashy ads, or covering billboards around town. Instead, we invest in what truly matters—our employees. Their training, education, and overall job satisfaction translate into exceptional service for our member-owners. This commitment to personalized service is why so many new members prefer Metco over larger, impersonal financial institutions.
By focusing on personalized service and member satisfaction, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner for financial services in Cedar Rapids and beyond. It’s no surprise that our new members often tell us they joined because of a referral from someone who experienced firsthand the value we offer.
We’re not just a credit union; we’re a community-focused financial partner dedicated to helping you achieve your financial goals. Whether you’re looking for a loan, a savings plan, or personalized financial advice, Metco is here to serve YOU better.
Our member-centric approach has made us a leading choice for residents and businesses in Cedar Rapids and across Iowa. We understand that being the best credit union in Iowa means putting our member-owners first—every time.
And once you’re a member, you can remain part of the Metco family no matter where life takes you!
