The History of America's Credit Unions
As all Credit Unions, Owensboro Federal Credit Union was built on TRUST by a passionate group of employees that wanted a better option than what they could receive at a bank for their families and co-workers. By chartering themselves as a Special Employee Group, they could offer this better option to employees of other businesses in Daviess County. Like all Credit Unions, Owensboro Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit and member owned. Owensboro Federal Credit Union was founded on the Credit Union philosophy of “People Helping People” and still honors that philosophy today.
History
Owensboro Federal Credit Union began in October 1953. It is Owensboro’s first Credit Union, making it the oldest Credit Union in your area. With a desire to help each other in times of need, it was started by the Local Postal Workers in the scale room of the old Post Office and operated out of a cigar box. As of today, Owensboro Federal Credit Union serves over 6,000 members and has 80 Special Employee Groups in the Owensboro and Madisonville areas. When we say Credit Unions are unique in the financial industry, we can back it up!
