First Pioneers FCU

First Pioneers FCU We are a full service financial institution committed to caring for members’ financial needs with heart.

First Pioneers FCU was chartered in 1949 by the employees of AT&T. These forward looking people saw an opportunity to provide for individual thrift, mutual savings and access to low cost loans. Running a credit union meant pooling common savings through payroll deduction, then lending it to members. Pricing of loans and savings was relatively simple; the credit union paid 6% on savings and charged

12% on loans. At first, savings and loans were the only services offered. Once these services were deregulated, additional services were gradually added to include CDs, IRAs, Visa credit cards and ATM/debit cards. In the mid 80s the credit union’s Board of Directors wisely anticipated the impact of communications deregulation, and began adding additional selected employee groups to the credit union’s membership. Lafayette Woodworks was the first non-telephone SEG to be added, followed by Stuller Setting. Today, First Pioneers FCU is a full service financial institution servicing 70 SEGs.

Vacations should feel exciting, not stressful when you get back home. A little planning ahead can go a long way, from setting a clear savings goal to being intentional about what you spend on along the way. It’s not about cutting out the fun, it’s about making sure you can actually enjoy it without the financial stress after.

Start planning smart now so future-you can relax later.
