Our Story
CPM Federal Credit Union was formed in 1955 by employees of the Charleston Paper Mill. We started in an old construction shed and our mission back then was to make affordable loans and deliver exceptional service to the employees of the Mill and improve their financial wellbeing.
Since that time CPM has grown to over $620 million in assets, has earned national recognition for financial strength, and now delivers better banking to more than 62,000 people throughout the communities served by our network of 11 South Carolina branches and our highly rated digital services.
Stop by and find out why over 62,000 of your neighbors have chosen CPM for better banking.
