Denver Fire Dept. Federal Credit Union Has Moved!

The Denver Fire Department Federal Credit Union has moved to a new location west of downtown Denver.  The credit union opened its doors at the new location on November 21st, 2017.

After weighing many options, the strategic decision was made by the DFDFCU Board of Directors to completely renovate a building that was previously a technical university building.  The building is over 18,000 square feet and includes an event center that has a picturesque view of Lake Rhoda with historical ties to Lakeside Amusement Park across the lake.  The new location offers the Credit Union an opportunity to work jointly with the firefighters it serves.  It includes office space for local firefighter unions and foundation groups, in addition to an event center that can be rented by firefighters for a wide variety of uses.  Additional tenants include the Colorado Professional Firefighters, Local 858, and Firefighter Events.

Throughout the building, members and guests can enjoy different details and types of wood including shou sugi ban.  Shou sugi ban is a treatment technique from Japan that is done on wood that helps protect it from pests, mold and also make it fire resistant.  They also can find an antique fire truck, hydrant handles to the faucets, an axe barn door handle and much more!

With the expansion in space, DFDFCU is able to accommodate more staff comfortably with private offices in the credit union.  Financial Services Consultants are no longer standing at a teller line which gives members the comfort and security to conduct their transactions in private offices.  The modern upgrade is attributed to the dedication from our firefighter membership of almost 80 years.


The project began in March 2016 and was completed in November 2017 by the design-build team Punch Architecture and Financial Construction Services.

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

Many CUs Likely to Face New Operating Challenges "Michael Moebs"

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge. Michael Moebs, economist and chairman of Moebs $ervices, is offering that forecast following his company’s new overdraft study, which has found overall net OD revenue for 2023 was down 5.7%, with banks dipping by 8.1% to $31.4 billion, thrifts falling by 28.6%. and credit unions actually increasing net revenue 2.2%. The study further reveals the m...
