Buckle Up Phone Down

United Consumers Credit Union is proud to be a Gold Standard Partner for MoDOT's 'Buckle Up Phone Down Challenge' campaign. We care about the safety of our members and the communities we serve. The challenge is simple: when you get into any vehicle, buckle up your safety belt. If you're the driver, put the cellphone down. Every trip, every time! We encourage everyone to take the challenge.

Kansas City Monarchs

We were a sponsor of the area's American Association baseball team through the 2028 season! They’re committed to Wyandotte County and the Kansas City area as a whole, just like we are. Plus, we’re giving you exclusive opportunities to win tickets to Monarchs games! Keep an eye on our social media, and watch your inbox for all the details. Read the announcement press release here!

Northwest Communities Development Corporation

We are a proud partner of this organization that is dedicated to the enrichment and revitalization of northwest Independence through affordable housing, social and recreational activities, job training and transportation. Their programs focus on seniors, youth, housing, public safety and public service.

Sock Party

Our local shelters need socks and underwear the most, yet are the least donated. From November through February 2026, United Consumers Credit Union collected NEW pairs of socks and packaged underwear to support our area shelters! Since 2020, our team has donated more than 2,900 pairs of socks and 300 pairs of underwear to help local residents in need. Thanks for your support!

Truman Heartland Community Foundation

In March, United Consumers Credit Union donated $640 to the Truman Heartland Community Foundation. Over the 2019-2020 NFL season, team donated $10 for the privilege of being able to wear jeans and a Kansas City Chiefs shirt. The credit union matched team donations. We believe it helped the Chiefs win big, but we also helped a great cause.
