WHAT IS A CREDIT UNION?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives serving members who share something in common-employment, association membership, or residence in a particular geographic area. More than 70 million U.S. consumers are member-owners of, and receive all or part of their financial services from, the nation's 12,047 credit unions.
CREDIT UNION HISTORY
Jefferson Community Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1969 under the sponsorship of the US Army, Jefferson Proving Ground and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2797. The credit union was chartered as JPG Employees Federal Credit Union, and an office was established and located on the proving ground for approximately 25 years.
In December 1988, the Department of Defense announced the first study of the Base Realignment and Closure Committee. The US Army, Jefferson Proving Ground was included on the list of bases identified for closure by September 30, 1995.
The mebership expressed the desire to keep the credit union in operation. The Board of Directors and management of JPG Employess Federal Credit Union supported the decision to continue operations after the closure of the proving ground. The Board also decided to expand the filed of membership in order to revitalize the operations and to preclude a serious decline in membership. At a special meeting February 7, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to change the name of the charter to Jefferson Federal Credit Union. An NCUA Certificate of Approval of Amendment of Charter of Bylaws was received February 28, 1995. The name change decision was deemed necessary to identify the credit union more closely to the expanded area from which the field of membership originally came, namely Jefferson County, Indiana, and surrounding counties including Trimble and Carroll Counites in Kentucky.
In 1998 JCFCU received a community charter and merged in Medical Profession FCU. The Board decided to change the name once again to Jefferson Community Federal Credit Union.
