Our mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. We do this by providing responsible financial services, lending to small businesses and nonprofits, developing real estate and promoting fair financial practices. While our work benefits communities of all kinds, our focus is on those who may be underserved by conventional lenders, including people of color, women, rural residents and low-wealth families and communities.

Self-Help Credit Union was established in 1984 in North Carolina. Over the past decade, we have merged with nine community-focused credit unions. These locally-rooted institutions were seeking to stabilize their operations and increase their products and services. Today Self-Help Credit Union serves nearly 60,000 members through 23 branches and lending offices across North Carolina.
