The streak continues! Thanks to your support. Century has once again been named one of the best local credit unions in St. Louis Magazine’s A-List Readers’ Choice Poll. That marks three years in a row — 2024, 2025, and 2026 — that Century has been named a finalist.
Your financial well-being is our top priority. Lower loan rates, higher returns on savings, and minimal fees help you save more and earn more than you typically would at a traditional bank.
Your relationship with Century should reward you. In 2025, we returned surplus earnings to members through a year-end bonus dividend and loan interest rebate. Now, we’re putting that philosophy into action throughout 2026 and beyond. Our Loyalty Rewards and 2% Loan Interest Rebate programs give members ongoing opportunities to earn money back rather than waiting until year-end.
Your money stays focused on members. As a local, member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution, we’re focused on delivering value to the people we serve – not outside shareholders. And the more products and services you and your family use at Century, the more value you can receive.
Figures cited are from rate and fee comparisons to other banking institutions in the state over a recent 12-month period.
If you or a family member lives or works in St. Louis County, St. Louis City, Jefferson County,
Franklin County, or St. Charles County in Missouri, you can open an account with Century.
Our not-for-profit structure and operational model enable us to offer some of the lowest loan rates and highest deposit rates around, both locally and nationally.
APR = Annual Percentage Rate / APY = Annual Percentage Yield
At Century Credit Union, we offer a wide range of financial products and services similar to those of traditional banks — but with unique benefits and better pricing.
For example, debit cards with cash-back rewards. A program that rounds up your debit card purchases and automatically deposits the change into a high-interest savings account called Quick Stash. A 24-month Flex CD that enables you to request a one-time rate increase. A Christmas Club savings account paying 5.09% APY. Youth savings accounts paying 10.00% APY, and teen CDs paying the same!
More examples: No balance transfer or cash advance fees on credit cards. A Credit Builder Loan for those who have little or no credit history or are struggling to improve their credit score. Home equity loans with no closing costs and 100% financing available. Mortgage loans with as little as 5% down, with no Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
Our friendly, knowledgeable team provides personalized, unbiased financial advice to help you make the best financial decisions.
