Charles Samuels established Maricopa County Employees Federal Credit Union in 1954 for the purpose of serving county employees. The first par value was $5 and loans were no more than $50. The main credit union office is still located in its founding building. In December 2002, Sun Catholic Credit Union merged into the credit union adding its field of membership. In 2006, Arizona Odd Fellows and Rebekah Credit Union merged into the credit union adding its field of membership. In 2009, Chicanos Por La Causa Federal Credit Union merged into MariSol Federal Credit Union adding to its field of membership. In September 2003, our name changed to MariSol Federal Credit Union to reflect our promise to the past and commitment to the future. MariSol Federal Credit Union's purpose is to deliver savings, solutions and service to its membership. Our sun logo echoes our vision of the future — brilliant with endless possibilities. We are passionate about creating a stronger community through the services we offer. In 2010, we were awarded the designation of a Community Development Financial Institution. By providing you with the affordable financial solutions you need to live a better life, we’re hardening our local economy — creating opportunities for prosperity for all.
