About ACCU

A credit union built around possibility.

Anchoring homeownership in Baton Rouge. Beginning on Florida Boulevard.

Our story

ACCU begins with a vacant financial asset on Florida Boulevard and a conviction that a building designed for banking should serve the people around it. The project is being organized as a community credit union anchored in homeownership.

Our mission

To move members from financial readiness to ownership, and from ownership to wealth creation — with banking, credit, mortgage and education under one roof.

Our vision

A Baton Rouge where a household can open its first account, repair its credit, buy its first home, finance its first business and pass something down, all at the same institution.

Our foundation

The principles beneath the institution.

Opportunity, ownership, community and legacy shape the experience ACCU is being organized to provide.
