History

In November 1950, less than two weeks after Armistice Day, which is now known as Veterans Day, ten founders saw a need to provide affordable financing to their colleagues. This group of people could easily fit into a small conference room and despite having no opportunity to profit directly, everyone agreed to contribute $100 to form a credit union. Their goal was simple: to create a financial cooperative with the goal of helping people achieve more.

For more than seven decades, we’ve continued that mission. Our name has changed over the years and the solutions we provide have expanded, but the reason we exist remains the same. The Credit Union was originally called Fort Knox Civilian Employees Federal Credit Union before the name changed to Fort Knox Federal Credit Union in 1960 when our charter was changed to accept military personnel in addition to civilian employees. In 2020, Fort Knox Federal Credit Union changed its name to Abound Credit Union to help everyone within our field of membership understand they could join and enjoy the money-saving benefits we offer.

Over the past 70+ years, we’ve added branches across a wide swath of Kentucky. As a leader in Financial Educational in the state, we have 17 locations and more than 130,000 Members. We're proud to serve our military community and provide valuable banking solutions to help hardworking Kentucky families thrive. Today, we offer affordable Home Loans, Consumer Loans and Business Loans, along with convenient Digital Banking, Free Checking Accounts, early paydays, and some of the best rates around for savers.
