About Elements

A purpose-driven workplace.

Every day at Elements brings something new. We're not afraid to reinvent ourselves — and when we do, our members are always better for it. That's what makes this place unlike anywhere I've ever worked.

Your Local Credit Union

Sure, we offer checking and savings accounts, credit cards, loans, and investments. But as a credit union, profits are returned to you in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates, and lower loan rates. And because our objective is to improve the financial lives of our member-owners, we provide personal attention and financial wellness services, such as on-site educational events at our partner companies.

1930 is When We Got Started

Founded in 1930 during the Great Depression, Eli Lilly management wanted to protect its employees from street lenders and loan sharks.

Eighty-five years later, we introduced the Elements Financial brand on January 6, 2015 to pay tribute to our Lilly roots and bring attention to the elements of our financial lives, wellness, and success.

Our Purpose Defines Why We’re Here

We are driven by our purpose statement: “Empowering members to achieve financial success.”

Finances touch every dimension of wellbeing: mental, social, physical, community, and career. Supporting our members' financial journeys creates holistic, meaningful change in their lives. That awareness keeps me curious and motivated to keep developing my skills, because I know that every bit of growth I invest in myself ultimately finds its way back to our members.
