Based in Waynesville, it serves residents who live, work, worship, or study in ten counties, offering access to a range of financial products and services through its local branch network and online presence. The credit union aims to support everyday financial needs for individuals in Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, and Swain Counties, addressing common banking needs within a cooperative, member-owned model. As a regional institution, MCU emphasizes serving underserved or local populations rather than pursuing aggressive growth, and maintains a community orientation evidenced by collaborations and recognition within the industry. Recent developments include leadership changes with Suzie Shook appointed as Chief Executive Officer, following the retirement of the prior CEO, and acknowledgment of MCU as a favorable workplace in national rankings. The organization operates within the financial services sector and maintains a presence in North Carolina through its website and physical locations.
