Greenbelt Federal Credit Union History
When the first families moved to Greenbelt, there were no banking facilities. In response, a group of pioneer residents collaborated and decided to establish a credit union. On December 13, 1937, Greenbelt Federal Credit Union was granted a charter, making it the first community credit union in the area and the inaugural financial institution in Greenbelt. This new organization flourished and consistently grew, aided in part by the co-op store operations that generously provided space for the expanding credit union.
“As interim manager of Greenbelt Federal Credit Union, I am incredibly pleased to join forces with another institution committed to empowering the financial wellbeing of its members. The combination of business and personal financial solutions, commitment to customer service, and devotion to community will only bring value to the residents of Greenbelt", says Nicole Velasquez, Interim Manager of Greenbelt FCU.
In a statement issued by the CEO, Diane Brown, expressed enthusiasm about the merger, stating, “Our team is committed to ensuring that the values and principles that Greenbelt FCU has upheld over the years will be respected and preserved throughout this merger. Together, we aim to create a stronger, more robust financial institution that will better serve the collective interests of our members and the Prince George’s County community.”
Board Chair of Prince George’s Community FCU, Darryl Jones, shares, "The Prince George's Community Federal Credit Union Board is proud to finally announce this significant milestone in our continued devotion to all Prince George's County residents. The Greenbelt FCU has long been a pillar and resource to their community. Over the past year, our Board and staff have worked diligently to deeply understand their membership needs and goals in an effort to maintain continuity and expand solutions and service offerings simultaneously. We happily welcome the Greenbelt FCU staff and members to our family.
