Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans, offer checking accounts and other convenient services. However, credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives and return excess earnings back to members instead of paid to a group of stockholders. Credit unions return those earnings in the form of competitive dividend rates on savings, competitive interest rates on loans, and the addition of new products and services. Credit unions are also very involved in their local communities and promoting financial education. When you open an account with a credit union, you open up a “share” of the organization. That means, you, and all our other members, are shareholders (owners) of the credit union. Each member gets a vote in how the credit union is run, typically by electing the volunteer Board of Directors to represent the membership in operational decisions, like where to locate branches, what new products to offer, and how management controls the credit union finances.

CoVantage Credit Union (formerly Antigo Co-op Credit Union) came into business in 1953. The first office had just two employees in the basement of the now non-operational Antigo Co-op Oil Association bulk plant. From the beginning, CoVantage has been member-owned and operated, with a philosophy of doing business for "people-not-profit" that still holds true today.

Although the founding charter was employees of the bulk oil plant, CoVantage is now community-chartered and has grown to include anyone who lives or works within the following Wisconsin counties: Brown, Clark, Florence, Forest, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Oneida, Outagamie, Portage, Price, Shawano, Taylor, Vilas, Waupaca and Wood; within the following Michigan counties: Dickinson, Iron, and Menominee; and within the following Illinois counties: Cook, DuPage, and Will. As of 2023, anyone who makes a $10 or more donation to our CoVantage Cares Foundation will now be eligible for membership.

In 2001, we changed our name from Antigo Co-op to better represent all members in north central Wisconsin and Michigan's UP. The name CoVantage Credit Union was chosen to honor our past by keeping ‘Co’ from our original name and combining it with ‘Vantage’ to represent the financial advantages we provide.

Over the years, CoVantage Credit Union has grown significantly, now business lending, mortgage lending, a full-service contact center, accounting, information technology/security, and marketing departments in addition to the expected teller, consumer lending, and financial service departments.
