About Ascension Credit Union

At Ascension Credit Union, we believe banking should feel personal, local, and built around you. For more than 50 years, we've been owned and operated by our members, the people who live and work in Ascension, Assumption, Iberville, Livingston, and St. James Parishes. Unlike big banks, we don't answer to shareholders. Every decision we make is about putting our members first, keeping money local, and helping our communities thrive.

We're proud of the recognition we've earned. Voted “Best Credit Union” and “Best Mortgage Lender” year after year, we put people, not profits, at the center of everything we do. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we're committed to reaching families and small businesses that are often left behind by traditional banks. That means fair, affordable loans, second-chance accounts, credit-building programs, and financial education designed to create opportunity for everyone.

From checking and savings to auto loans, mortgages, small business support, and retirement planning, we're here for every stage of life. And with branches in Gonzales, Donaldsonville, and Prairieville, plus a growing digital platform, managing your finances is easy, convenient, and always backed by local service you can trust.

Most importantly, we reinvest directly into our communities through scholarships for students, support for teachers, partnerships with non-profits, law enforcement, veterans, and small business owners. When you join Ascension Credit Union, you're not just opening an account. You're joining a movement to build stronger communities, one family, one member at a time.
