The $740 million VSECU in Montpelier, Vt., said Tuesday it has been accepted as a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, an independent network of values-based banks, banking cooperatives, credit unions, microfinance institutions and community development banks from around the world.

VSECU said it is the first U.S.-based credit union to earn membership in the global organization, joining 35 other financial institutions, including seven U.S. banks, in a joint commitment to use finance to promote sustainable social, environmental and economic development.
