Description

Finger Lakes Federal Credit Union (FLFCU) started with humble beginnings when the Social Security Administration Bureau of Credit Unions charted it as “Geneva School Employees Credit Union” in 1967. Back in 1967, the Credit Union “office” consisted of a desk located in the basement of Geneva High School (now called Geneva Middle School). Deposits were accepted by mail or in person to Gene McFadden, the very first member and manager of FLFCU. The Credit Union grew steadily and began adding other school systems to its charter. With the growth of the Credit Union, new offices were necessary which motivated a move to the 3rd floor of Geneva High and then later to 48 Castle Street in Geneva. In 1984, with almost 5,000 members and many new employer groups wishing to join, the Geneva School Employees Credit Union changed its name to Finger Lakes Federal Credit Union. Within a year, relocation was again necessary, so the office was moved to 27 Seneca Street in Geneva. With three floors and numerous office areas, the building at 27 Seneca Street has provided the Credit Union with over 20 years of growth space. The growth of the Credit Union has been substantial with the addition of a huge range of services and the addition of two branches, the first in Willard, and the second in Phelps. With over 14,000 members and 250 SEGs (Select Employer Groups) continued growth seems evident for the Credit Union. The Board and Staff of Finger Lakes Federal Credit Union will continue to work to fulfill the mission statement “To offer secure financial services at the best possible rates and support the needs of its membership”.
