Copper State Credit Union, a Phoenix-based financial institution with seven Arizona locations, is celebrating 75 years of serving Arizona families and local communities. With 150 employees and a digital transformation, Copper State CU is looking forward to working with more small businesses, helping members fight fraud and scams, and providing safe and sound financial assistance to families across the state.
In 2025, Copper State Credit Union completed a full digital transformation, retiring legacy systems and launching a modern mobile app and upgraded online banking platform. Throughout the year, the credit union continued offering market-leading Certificate of Deposit (CD) rates, high-yield savings options, low-rate loans, and tap-to-pay mobile solutions that help small businesses process payments faster.
“2025 was a year full of innovation, modernization, and transformation,” said Copper State Credit Union’s CEO Robb Scott, who is celebrating his 25th year with the company. “We’re proud we have one of the best CDs in the market, a checking account that pays members back, and competitive loan rates. We’re big enough to do great things, and small enough to care about our members.”
To commemorate its 75th anniversary, Copper State Credit Union is offering $75 for new members under 18 who open a Kids Savings Account or Teen Checking Account through April 30, 2026. The credit union is also investing in AI-powered member support tools and expanding its efforts to help Arizonans combat fraud and scams. With fraudsters increasingly using AI to target consumers, Copper State CU employees regularly assist members in identifying and preventing fraudulent activity.
Looking ahead, Copper State CU has plans to expand member business loan services, simplify the wire transfer process, and introduce digital debit card issuance directly into mobile wallets. Priorities for 2026 include a mobile investment platform and buy-now, pay-later financing options for larger purchases.
Since its founding in 1951, Copper State Credit Union has remained committed to improving liquidity and supporting the financial well-being of its members. The credit union is well capitalized with $53.4 million in reserves, ensuring long-term safety, stability, and member confidence.
