Serve Credit Union, one of the oldest in the state, began serving its members in 1931. Its purpose was to provide credit and savings to Des Moines police officers and their families at a fair and reasonable rate, to encourage habits of thrift, and to provide the opportunity to use and control their savings for their mutual benefit. Thanks to our loyal members, we’ve become a multi-million-dollar financial institution and are now able to provide a much wider selection of products and services. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to include all public safety professionals including all Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMTs, and Corrections Officers.

This growth also gave us the opportunity to merge with other like-minded credit unions, like the USDA Credit Union and the Polk County School Employees Credit Union. These mergers allow us to serve employees from governmental agencies and public schools along with their families. Along with this growth has come more ways for members to access their funds, including two full-service branches. This growth and change has been made possible by the integrity of our membership, allowing us to establish a long-standing tradition of providing low-interest loans and high-interest savings. We look forward to serving our members and giving them a strong financial choice for generations to come.
