Empowering your finances, every step of the way

Onward with Centra Credit Union is a mission-driven line of business, focused on financial inclusion by reaching out to underbanked or unbanked individuals, those who’ve never had the opportunity to work with a traditional banking system. The work of Onward differentiates Centra from other financial institutions by providing banking with a cause.
