History
Finance Center Federal Credit Union, aka "Financial Center" has a long history of supporting the financial growth and advancement of its member-owners. In 1953, when we received our charter, our mission was to serve military and civilians assigned to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, IN. At the end of 1953, the credit union had $29,000 in deposits and 227 loans on the books.

In 1968, Financial Center joined several other credit unions in a joint venture to provide financial services to military and civilian personnel stationed overseas. Financial Center opened its first overseas office in Fuerth, West Germany on February 15, 1968. This proved a very successful venture for both the credit union and the member-owners we were able to serve. At one time, the credit union operated up to seven branches in West Germany.

In Indianapolis , the credit union continued to look for opportunities for growth and under NCUA approved guidelines accepted Select Employer Groups (SEGs) in the mid 1980's. Financial Center served up to 600 SEGs ranging in size from less than 25 employees to more than 1000 employees; thus fulfilling a mission to make our services available to anyone seeking credit union membership. To serve a growing membership base in Indianapolis, the credit union opened office locations that supported growth on the city's Westside, Southside, Downtown and Eastside. The credit union's Main Office is located at 7101 East 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46226.

In 2001, NCUA, the federal regulators for the credit union, approved a change from its SEG-based charter to a community-based charter. Under this new community charter, the credit union's field of membership is defined as anyone who is a part of the Indianapolis community, whether they or their family live, work, worship, attend school, or volunteer in Marion County. While excited to enter into this new charter definition, it meant a sad departure from our Operations in West Germany. Under the "Once a Member, Always a Member" philosophy, we continue to retain the membership of several thousand military and civilian employees located around the world.

Assets of Financial Center have soared over the years. At the end of 1984, assets were $50 million. They increased to $68 million at year end 1985, and they almost doubled in 1986 ending the year at $134 million. Assets as of June 30, 2008 were $362 million. Today our credit union has nine centers located in Marion County with 145 employees serving nearly 37,000 members worldwide.
