Data Access

CU Wire Data inside your own system.

For teams that already have a warehouse, model, workflow, or research process. We deliver normalized credit union data with stable identifiers, source periods, schema notes, and a small read-only API surface.

Licensed access from $400/mo or $4,000/yr · custom bulk & partner tiers on request.

Licensed package coverage

The package is built for internal systems that need stable institution identifiers, documented fields, source periods, and files that can be loaded without reverse-engineering the public portals.

Delivery

Paid Data Access is issued after checkout verification as a quarterly bulk package, schema, manifest, hashes, source periods, plain-language data license, and bearer-token API key.

Package

The Q1 2026 package includes CSV/JSONL institution files, quarterly financials, account-line values, branches, designations, selected activity modules, and a data dictionary.

V1 API surface

Data Access keys are bearer tokens scoped to read-only licensed data delivery. They do not unlock subscriber app endpoints or person-level executive intelligence.

Download the OpenAPI spec for the supported v1 endpoints.
