We couldn’t have done this, with all the success that we’ve had currently without our partners, and obviously the City of Chelsea has been a strong partnership, and we’re very excited about continuing that on. And thank you for all you’ve done to make Chelsea what it is.”
Metro Credit Union was founded in 1926 with the guiding principle of “People Helping People.” Since then, Metro has grown into the largest state-chartered credit union in Massachusetts with more than 220,000 members.
