In 1935, we were formed as the Detroit Newspaper Industrial Credit Union, to serve people who worked in the newspaper industry. In the 1970s, we changed our name to be more inclusive of industries such as radio, television, printing, and publishing. We chose Communicating Arts Credit Union, the name most of us associate with our credit union.
As other financial institutions fled Detroit, we expanded our scope to help fill the financial services gap. While we will never forget our roots, our focus has expanded to all Detroiters. Whether you live in Detroit, or Redford, or Grosse Pointe, or Highland Park—we carry the spirit of Detroit. We work here, we live here, we worship here, we volunteer here. We are all together, One Detroit.
