The Ohio Educational Credit Union (OHecu) is a full-service financial institution. Our goal is to recognize and understand the unique financial needs of our individual members and fulfill those needs through a variety of diversified products and services while adhering to the Credit Union philosophy of “People helping People.” The Ohio Educational Credit Union was incorporated in 1933 as the Cleveland Teachers Credit Union. Through the many years that followed, the Credit Union provided quality service to its members based on the fundamental principle underlying financial cooperatives – “People Helping People.” From its inception, the Credit Union provided a diverse selection of quality services for employees and family members of the Cleveland Public School System. In 1990 changes to the charter have opened Credit Union membership to all educational institutions throughout the state of Ohio along with a variety of other organizations.
