Vermont Federal Credit Union and Credit Union of Vermont were both founded in the 1950s with a collective vision to offer dedicated financial services to U.S. Postal Service workers.
With strong roots in the postal service and longstanding connections to the communities we serve, we are excited to unite our visions to create a Credit Union for Vermonters, by Vermonters.
Vermont Federal Credit Union was founded in 1953 as the Burlington Postal Employees Credit Union. Just a short time later, the Credit Union was renamed to the U.S. Government Employees Credit Union of Chittenden County. The Credit Union's connection to these roots remains strong, as many government employees in Vermont are still loyal members of Vermont Federal.
In 1990, members decided to change the Credit Union from a state to a federal charter, becoming Vermont Federal Credit Union in 1991. After a series of expansions and mergers, Vermont Federal Credit Union was granted a community charter in 2001.
Today Vermont Federal Credit Union operates under a community charter, opening the possibility of membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the state of Vermont, as well as any of their family members.
PURPOSE:
To help Vermonters prosper, no matter where they may be on life’s journey.
CORE VALUES:
• We do the right thing, always.
• We believe wholeheartedly in what we do.
• We’re genuine, generous, and kind.
• We respect each other, regardless of our differences.
• We go above and beyond for members and each other.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
• Total Assets: Approximately $1,000,000,000
• Location: South Burlington, VT
• Branches: 8
• Employees: 175
