About
Empower Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative headquartered in Syracuse, NY, serving members across Central New York and eight surrounding counties with a full suite of savings, loan, and transaction services. The credit union emphasizes member ownership and community-focused banking, offering competitive rates and personalized service while maintaining a strong commitment to financial education and local economic development. In addition to core banking, Empower partners with CUSO Financial Services, L.P., a registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment advisor, to provide non-deposit investment products that are not federally insured but offer members diversified investment opportunities. This dual-model approach—combining traditional credit union services with regulated investment offerings—sets Empower apart as a comprehensive, member-centric financial institution that balances risk-managed growth with cooperative values.
