History

Established in 1925.

In 1925 Pyramid began as a mutual investment group, when the post office was located in the old Ronstadt’s Hardware building at the southwest corner of South Sixth and East Broadway. At the end of the first year the earned interest was split among the men, who bragged about the money they received. More joined up.

Soon, Pyramid became a leader of the credit union movement in the United States. Charter members helped start other credit unions in Tucson. Pyramid was in operation years before credit unions were officially recognized and regulated by the state. After many trips to Phoenix and months of work with the Arizona lawmakers, an Arizona Credit Union law was passed in 1929. Pyramid received one of the state’s first charters to formally operate as a credit union. As word spread about the credit union, Pyramid’s membership grew.
