About the Credit Union

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business? Well, you actually become part-owner of our credit union when you open a savings account! So congratulations! As a member of Des Moines Police Officers’ Credit Union, you’re also a small business owner!

We’ve been around 80 years so we really know our stuff. We began serving employees of the Des Moines Police Department and thanks to our loyal members, we’ve grown to be able to serve anyone in Iowa who works in public safety – like police officers, firefighters and corrections officers, just to name a few – and their family members.

Our credit union may look just like a bank – we offer savings accounts, checking accounts, loans, and a lot of other ways to help you save and spend money, and when you’re an adult, you can borrow money to buy things you want and need. However, if you look closer, you’ll find out credit unions are much different from banks. For example, only certain people can open an account with Des Moines Police Officers’ Credit Union. You have to work as, or be related to a public safety professional in Iowa in order to be a member of our credit union. So, when you save your money with us, you’re saving with other kids who have something in common with you!
