ABOUT US
Our Mission
We empower credit unions to impact their members and communities
in meaningful ways.
Our History
Callahan & Associates was founded in 1985 by three credit union proponents with a shared purpose of helping credit unions thrive. Ed Callahan, Bucky Sebastian, and Chip Filson realized that the best way to support credit unions was by fostering collaboration, empowering them with actionable data, and driving change.
Helping credit unions thrive is in our DNA. Today, Callahan maintains the same entrepreneurial spirit and passion for credit unions that propelled the company’s founders many years ago. Our products and services are designed specifically to empower credit unions to make decisions that positively impact their members and communities.
Our company is 100% employee-owned.
