We have served Pasadena for over 85 years, and we continue to provide the local community with the best in service, value, and local focus.

Pasadena Federal Credit Union was founded in 1935 by a small group of City of Pasadena employees who wanted a safe, fair place to save and borrow money. Our first “office” was a window in the City Treasurer’s office. Although we moved from the tower of Pasadena City Hall in 1980, we remain committed to being the locally-focused financial institution that serves the residents of Pasadena and local communities with rates that are better than the banks and personalized service that continues to receive rave reviews from our members.

For many years, our field of membership was limited to City of Pasadena employees and their families. As an increasing number of local residents became aware of our service and value, we added the employees of the Cities of South Pasadena, San Gabriel and Sierra Madre, as well as more than one hundred companies, non-profits and other locally-focused organizations to our field of membership. Then in 2023, Pasadena FCU became community-chartered, expanding our reach from the corners of Covina, Huntington Park, and Glendale. We are so proud of our wide diversity of members, including police officers, firefighters, engineers, artists, business owners, construction workers, teachers, civic leaders, volunteers and so many more people whose combined efforts make this area such a special, unique, and vibrant community!
