Consumers Credit Union (CCU), a $4.6 billion credit union headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, has announced the upcoming opening of a new branch location in Huntley, Illinois, scheduled for this fall.

"We're eager to be joining the vibrant community in and around Huntley," said Sean Rathjen, Chief Executive Officer. "Current CCU members in the area will enjoy more convenient branch access, and we'll be able to introduce our award-winning products and member service to more people. We think of ourselves as the people in your corner, and we're thrilled to add this corner to our map."

Rathjen noted that additional branch locations are among the most frequent requests the credit union receives from its members.

The new branch will be located at 12880 IL-47 in Huntley, a growing village in McHenry and Kane counties approximately 50 miles northwest of Chicago. Huntley has experienced notable population growth over recent decades, making it an attractive market for financial institutions seeking to expand their physical footprint.

CCU's expansion comes at a time when many large banks across the United States have been reducing their branch networks in response to shifting consumer preferences toward digital banking. Credit unions, by contrast, have continued to invest in physical locations as a point of differentiation, emphasizing in-person member service and community presence.

A grand opening is planned for Wednesday, September 30, 2026, and all are welcome to attend.

Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Consumers Credit Union holds $4.6 billion in assets and serves more than 287,000 members. CCU ranks as the fifth-largest credit union in Illinois by assets and operates the largest branch network among credit unions in the state. The institution's philosophy holds that while nobody needs banks on every corner, everyone needs people who are in their corner.
