[Boulder, CO] Clean Energy Credit Union (CECU), the first institution of its kind in the nation, has officially launched and is now taking savings account deposits and making clean energy loans. CECU is an online-only financial institution that focuses exclusively on providing loans that help people throughout the US afford clean energy products and services such as solar electric systems, electric vehicles, home energy efficiency retrofits, electric-assist bicycles and homes that use net zero energy. CECU’s operational model functions exclusively online and via phone, and does not include traditional brick-and-mortar branches. The organization passes the resulting overhead savings to credit union members. CECU will initially offer savings accounts, clean energy CDs, clean energy vehicle loans, PV system loans and green home improvement loans. Starting in 2019, it plans to offer checking accounts, debit cards, credit cards and green home mortgages.
