Recent
expansion allows parishioners of all Episcopal churches throughout four Florida
dioceses to join Episcopal Credit Union
Florida Episcopal Federal Credit Union (FEFCU) has
recently announced
that parishioners of all Episcopal churches throughout four
Florida dioceses are now eligible for membership in this unique faith-based credit union. NCUA, the U.S. government agency that regulates federal credit unions, recently
approved this expansion because of the common bond shared by Episcopalians
across the state.
Deeply
rooted in the traditions of the Episcopal Church, FEFCU was founded in 1966
under the direction of The Rt. Rev. Henry I. Louttit to help meet the needs of
the clergy in South Florida. “Our credit union holds the distinction of being
a faith-based financial institution. The staff, management and board of
directors are devoted individuals who prayerfully make decisions in the best
interest of the general membership,” says Lynn Hough, president of FEFCU.
Florida Episcopal Federal Credit Union serves the Dioceses
of Central Florida, Southwest Florida, Southeast Florida and Florida.
Membership is open to parishioners of all churches, employees of the dioceses,
churches, schools, retirement centers and retreat and conference centers. The
churches and affiliated organizations can also have an account with the credit
union. For more information, call (407) 423-3189 or (800) 548-9301
