Story

Serving members since 1941
Shoreline Credit Union was initially formed by a small group of employees from Hamilton Manufacturing Company of Two Rivers. At the time, we were known as the Hamilton Employees Credit Union. Volunteers ran the credit union part-time from a corner of the company’s personnel department.

As membership grew, we rented space downtown. When we expanded our charter to a community basis in 1979, we moved into a full-service facility on the north side of Two Rivers. Since then, we have added a second facility in Two Rivers and one in Manitowoc.

Membership eligibility
If you live or work in any of the following counties, you are eligible to join:
Brown, Outagamie, Winnebago, Door, Calumet, Fond du Lac, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Sheboygan
In addition Shoreline's by-laws include two (2) long standing national membership rules;
1) "once a member, always a member" (you remain a member regardless if you change jobs or move outside the above area)
2) "immediate family member" rule (parents, siblings & step-family of eligable members also have the right to join the credit union).

Financial safety for members
In 1934 President Roosevelt signed the Federal Credit Union Act authorizing the creation of federally chartered credit unions in all states. Its purpose was to make credit available and promote thrift through a national system of nonprofit, cooperative credit unions.

We are members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions. The agency empowers credit unions to provide access to affordable financial services to the underserved so members may achieve financial self-sufficiency and realize dreams of owning a home or small business. Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, NCUA runs the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund to insure members’ deposits.
