May 12, 1951, a group of Ukrainian immigrants decided to create a new financial institution to meet the needs of their fellow Ukrainians in Chicago. Selfreliance FCU supports the efforts of its members in establishing cultural and social organizations. With its affordable loans and beneficial services, Selfreliance FCU helps its members strengthen their economic standing. Our involvement with community organizations helps preserve and maintain the viability of the Ukrainian Diaspora communities in our service areas in Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey.
