WATERBURY Firefighters FCU Changes It's Name

WATERBURY — The Firefighters Credit Union has been renamed the FD Community Federal Credit Union, according to Michael Kinne, president and CEO of the Waterbury-based Firefighters Credit Union.

“We are very excited about this name change because we believe it will help increase people’s awareness that this credit union is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school or volunteers in Waterbury and the eight surrounding towns of Cheshire, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Prospect, Plymouth, Thomaston, Watertown and Wolcott,” Mr. Kinne said.

“We believe this new name emphasizes that our credit union is open to all individuals, families and businesses in our area.”

The name change went into effect on Monday, July 30.

This was an on-going project that started in 2001 when the credit union changed from an employee-based credit union to a community-chartered credit union.

“The community charter opened the credit union to individuals other than firefighters, municipal employees and their relatives,” Mr. Kimme said.

The new website address is www.fdcommunityfcu.org.

The credit union’s main office telephone number remains the same at 203-753-9201.

Joint Advocacy Efforts to Save the Credit Union System

The National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions (NCOFCU ) participated in the DCUC advocacy meeting. It was decided that we would assist in the advocacy efforts to maintain the credit union tax exemption and ensure the future of NCUA.  WASHINGTON—America’s Credit Unions and the Defense Credit Union Council each held meetings Monday to discuss the state of the credit union system following the shake-up at NCUA. The two meetings, both held at 1 p.m. ET, approached the topic in very different ways. As CUToday.info reported, President Trump removed NCUA Democratic Board Members Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka last week, which sparked a great deal of concern among credit unions about the future of NCUA and the movement. The Defense Credit Union Council outlined action steps that need to be taken to make sure credit unions prosper in this period of uncertainty, with much of that centering on preserving credit unions’ tax-exempt status.
