Reliably Serving Members Since 1948

Welcome to Chivaho Federal Credit Union.

Chivaho is a non-profit organization owned and operated by its members. The birth of the Credit Union began with seven members contributing $5.00 each and having a common vision to bring cooperative financial services to the citizens of the area.

We are proud to have served the employees and family members of the local VA Medical Center; and are excited to bring our exceptional member service and product line-up to all of Ross County.

As a member of Chivaho FCU, you will never feel like just an account number. I personally invite you to call or stop by and learn how you can become part of our credit union family.
