In June of 1959, a group of school employees met to consider the formation of a credit union for their co-workers in the greater Washington, PA area. From this original group of 10, each contributing $5.25, the Washington Area Teachers Federal Credit Union was chartered. By the end of 1959 the credit union had grown to 52 active members. Today, Washington Area Federal Credit Union is a full-service financial institution committed to providing quality products and services combined with exceptional customer care to meet the needs of a growing membership. The local schools are still a big part of our membership and we have since welcomed many other organizations as well. We are dedicated to our existing organizations and look forward to bringing the benefits of credit union membership to other organizations in the future.
