The Credit Union Difference

Unlike banks, we are a not-for-profit institution. Instead of having stockholders, each member owns a share of the credit union. A volunteer Board of Directors, elected by the members,  oversees credit union operations and ensures the credit union fulfills the purpose of "people helping people". Since there are no stockholders to pay; any profits (after paying all operational expenses) are returned back to the credit union in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, lower fees and enhancements to service and technology.

About WFCU

Westminster FCU has been serving the local community since 1960. Originally founded by 12 Westminster Volunteer Fireman, the "office" was a drawer in the desk of the City Manager's Secretary. Soon after; the police, parks and the rest of the city of Westminster joined the credit union.

WFCU continued to grow as Foothills Community Church was added as a Select Employee Group. In November 2009, Members Advantage FCU merged into WFCU, adding the cities of Arvada and Wheat Ridge as eligible for membership.
Operating from our current location since 2001, we are now a full-service financial institution; offering everything from checking and IRAs to auto loans and mortgages.
