Our History
Our credit union was established in 1936 in the town of Enfield, Connecticut by a group of Board of Education employees and was located at the former Higgins School. It was called the North Central Connecticut School Employees Federal Credit Union. Then in 1955 it was relocated to the credit union’s first manager’s home on Arrow Street and in 1962 to the next manager’s home located on Frew Terrace (pictured on the left). Members would sign their loan documents right in the living room!
A year later our name would change to what it is currently as we had grown to serve the Board of Education employees and their families in six towns, Enfield, East Windsor, Windsor Locks, Windsor, Somers and Suffield, in an area known as the Tobacco Valley of Connecticut.
In 1981 we made the move to a building on Hazard Avenue which allowed us to expand our services. By 1996 we had grown so much, it was necessary to move to our current location on South Road (pictured on the right).
Our services and membership have continued to grow over the years to evolve with the changing times. We also now welcome Enfield High School students, employees and volunteers of the Enfield Fire Department and employees of Community Health Resources. We are proud to have served this community for so many years and strive to continue providing quality financial services.
