What is the name history of our credit union?
Financial Access FCU was created over sixty years ago with the primary mission to serve Tropicana employees. We eventually expanded to include other employment groups. As times change and peoples’ needs change, we too had to evolve. That evolution resulted in over a decade ago moving away from serving groups exclusively to serving the at-large community. Resulting in the name change from Tropicana Federal Credit Union to Financial Access Federal Credit Union. We have had success being there to support the financial needs of all of our new and old members. We are very proud of our time serving the at-large community along with all of our old friends from Tropicana/PepsiCo.
NCUA has approved the credit union’s request to go back and change our charter from community to multiple common bond, requiring the credit union to remove Community from our name. Though we are excited to continue to serve our community, we eagerly look forward to once again being able to serve employment groups as well. Credit Unions have thrived for almost a century focusing on serving groups. We have had the good fortune to experience success serving employment groups and more recently serving the community. We are fortunate to have identified wonderful employment groups eager to join our family. Changes bring excitement and new opportunities.
