Mission & Vision

N.E.W. Credit Union is committed to our members, and to our members we make the following commitments.

Our History

N.E.W. Credit Union began in 1962 as Falls Paper Employees Credit Union, serving paper mill employees and their families. By the late 1970s, we had grown to over $1 million in assets and moved into our first dedicated location in Oconto Falls.

Expansion continued through the 1980s and 1990s, with new branches in Suring (1993) and Oconto (1998). We introduced checking accounts, debit/ATM cards, credit cards, and online banking, making financial services more accessible to our members. By 2002, we celebrated 40 years of service and expanded membership eligibility to Brown, Marinette, Oconto, and Shawano counties.

The 2010s brought rapid growth and digital advancements. We surpassed $100 million in assets, launched mobile banking, and introduced new services like mobile deposit, digital wallets, and instant debit card issuance. A merger with Badger Credit Union in 2017 further strengthened our reach.

Today, N.E.W. Credit Union remains committed to serving our members and communities. With over $151 million in assets, multiple branch locations, and a strong focus on digital banking, we continue to evolve while staying true to the “People Helping People” philosophy.

From a small paper mill credit union to a thriving financial institution, our story is one of growth, service, and commitment to our members.
