At OUCU Financial, our mission is to help our members live their best lives. That’s why we’re pleased to partner with the American Consumer Council (ACC).

The ACC, founded in 1987, is a non-profit organization committed to consumer education, financial literacy, and advocacy. With over 400,000 members across the U.S., the ACC supports America’s economic growth by promoting the sale and use of safe, reliable products and services.

Members of the American Consumer Council enjoy:

  • A monthly consumer bulletin that offers education and information on the value and quality of products and services
  • Quarterly issues of ‘Voice of the Consumer‘
  • Access to financial education resources

If you are an Ohio resident and do not live in a county listed in our eligible membership counties, you may elect to join the American Consumer Council when you apply to join OUCU. Membership is free.
