Over 90 Years of Service, Strength & Community

Our Story

From humble beginnings in 1935 to a thriving credit union today, our story has always been about people coming together to build something better.

A Story Rooted in Community

3Rivers began with a simple belief: when people support one another, everyone moves forward. What started as a small group of co-workers pooling resources has grown into a financial cooperative serving hundreds of thousands of members across Northeast Indiana and beyond.

For nine decades, we’ve stayed committed to doing what’s right, strengthening our communities, and empowering people to reach for more. As we look to the future, our mission remains the same—helping people succeed and making a positive impact for generations to come.

What defines our journey:
  • A member-owned cooperative built on trust and shared purpose
  • Decades of commitment to strong financial stewardship
  • Deep roots in local neighborhoods, schools, and businesses
  • A people-first philosophy that guides how we serve
  • Continuous evolution to meet the needs of today’s members
