LAFCU Turns 88!

LAFCU celebrated our 88th anniversary serving members on May 20, 2024. Since 1936, we have provided members a range of products and services, many account-access options, and excellent member service. We will continue the celebration throughout 2024 with fun contests and giveaways, including $88 monthly raffles for members. On the auspicious day of May 20, LAFCU Board Members and senior management gathered in the Glendale boardroom to celebrate the anniversary with a special cake and festive balloons.

We were founded in 1936 by 13 Los Angeles City Employees to give fellow employees a safe, low-cost, and convenient source to borrow and save money during the height of the Great Depression. They gathered $65 to form the “Los Angeles City Employees Federal Credit Union.” In 1987, the name changed to Los Angeles Federal Credit Union to reflect a growing field of membership, which started to include immediate family members of City employees and individuals who lived in the same household as a current member.

How to Report 

Phone fraud, also known as phone scam or phone phishing, is a fraudulent practice in which individuals or organizations attempt to obtain personal or financial information from unsuspecting victims over the phone. Phone fraud can take many forms, such as fake IRS calls, tech support scams, or prize scams.

It is important to report phone fraud to the appropriate authorities to protect yourself and others. Here are some tips:

If you receive a suspicious phone call, hang up immediately and do not provide any personal or financial information to the caller. Remember that your credit union and other legitimate organizations will never ask for sensitive information over the phone.
