Opportunities Credit Union is a Winooski, Vermont-based financial cooperative founded in 1989 and the state's only community development credit union. It focuses on serving Vermonters with low wealth by expanding access to fair, affordable financial services that support community development. Its primary market comprises Vermont’s roughly 90,000 low-income households, many of whom earn less than 80% of HUD Area Median Income and have limited savings. It targets individuals denied by mainstream financial institutions, offering affordable alternatives to predatory lending and other high-cost options. In 2024, it merged with Green Mountain Credit Union, broadening Opportunities' presence in Vermont.
