Since our early days as a credit union created for employees of the GE Appliance Park in Louisville, Park has held a special place in the hearts and minds of so many. The connections and unique relationships between members, employees, and our communities has been nothing short of bold, empowering, and special.
As Kentucky’s largest Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Credit Union, the way we operate will always be a little different from other banks and credit unions. This past year, our team embarked on journey to connect and learn from our members, community partners, and employees to put to words the magic of Park that has been strong since 1965. This resulted in a clearly defined strategic direction for the future of your credit union.

Founded in 1965 as a financial cooperative for GE Appliance Park employees in Louisville, Kentucky, our credit union has evolved significantly. Our original identity was deeply rooted in the iconic GE monogram. As our membership expanded, we reimagined our brand to capture a sense of togetherness and community, inspired by the swirling motion of the GE logo.
Looking ahead, our "Park" logo was designed to evoke a feeling of unity, support, and community, mirroring the collaborative spirit of our members.
Our people mean what we say and say what we mean. The Park logo is anchored in black and white to signify the boldness, clarity, and truth that we project to our members and communities. This self-assuredness is accented by a soulful glowing gradient that signifies transition and opportunity. We are One Park-our members, employees, and communities rise together to create a new reality and a new way of managing finances.
