You have a powerful story. Your goals. Your struggles. Your dreams. Together, the story becomes even more powerful. We are more than a financial institution. We are a union of hopes, helping one another in the pursuit of better.

At Lake Trust, we have embraced that responsibility for nearly 80 years. As a purpose-driven credit union with a widespread presence in Michigan, we have a longstanding reputation for helping our members navigate the financial world. Helping our communities by focusing on impact and optimism. And helping our team members by seeking ways to support all aspects of their wellbeing. But we can’t do it alone. We’d love everyone to join us.

Everyone has the power to increase wellbeing in our world. For our members, a genuine partnership is always the first step. But what happens next? Effectively finding the right solution for your financial needs. Encouraging your path to small business success. Empowering your entrepreneurial spirit to invigorate new ideas. When everyone can thrive, it’s all possible.

Our Vision

A world in which everyone thrives.

The vision of Lake Trust is a holistic, inclusive pursuit. It all starts with the wellbeing of our Michigan communities. But it extends far beyond. In collaboration with our members, we continue to build a more purposeful organization — and a more powerful world. A world in which everyone can explore, discover, and thrive.

1944

The year one of our predecessor credit unions, Detroit Edison Credit Union, was chartered. Lake Trust was established in 2010 when Detroit Edison Credit Union merged with NuUnion Credit Union (formerly State Employees Credit Union). In fact, “The Power in All of Us” is in part a nod to the time in our history when we served the Detroit Edison, or DTE Energy, workforce.

Nearly 200,000 members

Our credit union network of members is robust, diverse, and connected.

30,000+ ATMs

Our members have access to more than 30,000 ATMs throughout the country thanks to our partnership with the Co-Op Network. At home, a wide network of ATMs is strategically located across the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

501(c)(3)

The Lake Trust Foundation identifies and supports local Michigan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that align with our mission to lift one another and empower wellbeing.

5,862 volunteer hours

The number of volunteer and community engagement hours the Lake Trust team dedicated to our communities in 2023.

Why choose a credit union?

You’re curious about credit unions. How are they different from banks? At a credit union, every member is an owner. An integral part of the overall function, mission, and purpose of the organization. And unlike shareholder-owned banks, a credit union reinvests its income each year to improve the member experience. It’s a unique approach to financial wellbeing that keeps us focused on you — one of our valued owners.
