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.
