Eko is thrilled to announce that digital investing is live for all Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union (“Brooklyn Coop FCU”) members! Brooklyn Coop is a mission-driven credit union serving Central and Eastern Brooklyn communities. Through this collaboration, Brooklyn Coop members are empowered with seamless access to Eko’s digital investing platform, making wealth-building more equitable and inclusive.

At Eko, our mission has always been to democratize investing — not just for the top 1%, but for everyone. We believe that all financial institutions, especially community-minded ones, can play a pivotal role in closing wealth gaps by providing intuitive, affordable investment tools.

Brooklyn Coop FCU is a standout in the world of community finance. Since its founding in 2001, the credit union has served Central and Eastern Brooklyn as a certified CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution), with an emphasis on fairness, affordability, and financial resilience in historically underserved neighborhoods.

Brooklyn Coop’s values align strongly with ours: building community trust, offering financial tools that uplift, and empowering members to chart a path toward long-term stability.

A significant population within Brooklyn Coop’s member base is multilingual, with Spanish the leading language for translations. Eko worked closely with Brooklyn to develop the functionality to support platform translations into Spanish, making investing more accessible to Brooklyn Coop members. Members’ investment portals now automatically update to Spanish if that is the preferred language members have set within their banking app.

Adding Spanish platform translations not only benefits Brooklyn Coop, but supports all of Eko’s partner financial institutions and their Spanish-first investors. Eko is proud to continue unlocking new ways to enable the opportunity for everyone to secure their financial future.

Brooklyn Coop already has a strong track record of community impact — for example, its notable footprint in small business lending in Brooklyn relative to its size. Digital investing options often lead to increased platform logins, deeper member engagement, and deposit growth. This new offering is another step in its mission to expand opportunity.

We look forward to celebrating this journey and sharing success stories as Brooklyn Coop members begin their investing journey!
