About

The roots of Leading Edge Credit Union (LECU) lie in a simple yet powerful mission: to provide accessible financial solutions to underserved communities. Founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to financial services, LECU began as a grassroots initiative in agriculture—neighbors pooling resources to create opportunities where traditional banks fell short.

As the community's needs grew, so did LECU. From those early cooperative beginnings, it has evolved into a full-service credit union while staying true to its founding values: trust, cooperation, and people over profit. LECU’s story is a testament to the power of community and its ongoing commitment to economic empowerment.
