OUR HISTORY
Workers' Federal Credit Union was formed in 1936.
Originally the field of membership was limited to
Members of the Workers' Cooperative Union, Inc. in
Stafford Springs, Connecticut and persons in their
immediate families (now known as the Stafford Food
Center). It was established as a solution to the poor
financial shape that the Co-op has found itself in by
extending credit to its members during the great
Depression. It was determined that the credit union
could make loans to the members and they would then be
able to repay their debts to the Co-op.
In 1959, the credit union became located in the Co-op
store. The first part time employee was hired by the
Board at that time. In 1966, the first full time
employee was hired, also becoming treasurer of the Board
of Directors. As time went on, business at the credit
union gradually improved, and in the late 1980's,
Workers' Federal Credit Union moved to its current
location at 70 West Stafford Road in Stafford Springs.
Today, membership is extended to anyone who lives or
works in the towns of Stafford, Ellington, Somers,
Tolland, Ashford, Willington or Union. The Workers’
Federal Credit Union has 9 members on the Board and 9
full time employees ready to serve all the communities
listed.
