History of Ohio University Credit Union
In 1955, Dr. Harry Crewson, then professor of economics and later president of Ohio University (OU), proposed the creation of a credit union for OU employees. With the approval of OU President John Baker, Crewson and OU Treasurer Paul O'Brien secured a charter from the State of Ohio. The Ohio University Employees Credit Union, now Ohio University Credit Union (OUCU), officially opened for business in the cashier's office in Ewing Hall on the campus of OU. The OUCU is now a member-owned financial institution.
