About
It's really all about you. Find out what makes Azura Credit Union different.
Not for profit, always for you.
We are committed to providing Above and Beyond Banking through reliable, innovative products and to improving lives through a culture of giving.
It's all part of our rich history rooted in local community, serving Kansans since 1939. Our members form a diverse group of Kansans, including teachers, manufacturing and communications workers, employees of local, municipal, state and federal governments, and so many more. All it takes is a $5 deposit to become a member and access all our products and services.
Our History
At our earliest, back in 1939, a group of Kansas teachers with a collective $144 and a passion to help each other succeed started a financial cooperative. Today, that co-op is Azura Credit Union.
