Opportunity

rkGoBig seeks to help small, community-owned credit unions in big ways.

Within rkGoBig’s network, not-for-profit credit unions collaborate when such collaboration helps them save money or improve business outcomes through network scale. We collaborate to invest in sustainability at a scale impossible for a single credit union alone – all while the credit unions remain fiercely independent banking co-ops.

At its apex, the credit union movement counted over 20,000 mostly small, local credit unions. Today, fewer than 6,000 remain. The loss of community-centric financial institutions, many of which were founded by the under-resourced during the depression, erodes America’s ability to serve the communities that span our country. Especially now - we all see it. Our families face too much financial stress, not helped by some of the behaviors of the very large banks. As cooperatively owned financial service firms, credit unions are doing what we were created to do – help to bring financial security and dignity to us all.

rkGoBig works daily to preserve and ignite community credit unions. That is our mission.
