"By Firefighters for all First Responders"


As we stand on the brink of a new year, we at the National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions Inc (NCOFCU), serving all credit unions serving first responders, want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your continued support and engagement have made 2024 a remarkable year for NCOFCU, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

This past year has been filled with achievements. We had a great 2024 conference in San Antonio, TX. We’ve expanded our services by introducing the First Responder Credit Union Academy (FRCUA) and strengthened our commitment to serving you better.

A highlight of 2024 was undoubtedly the San Antonio Conference and the incredible sense of community and support we have received. Seeing so many of you unite to share knowledge, experiences, and challenges has been inspiring.

As we reflect on the past year, we are also excited about what lies ahead in 2025. We are continually looking for ways to enhance your experience with us and hope that our conference in Key West, FL, 9/22-25/25, will provide that experience. We are committed to rolling out new initiatives to offer our associates more significant value and convenience. We want to ensure that your journey with NCOFCU remains as seamless and rewarding as possible.

Thank you once again for your trust, loyalty, and enthusiasm. Your participation is what makes NCOFCU. Let’s continue this journey together as we step into another exciting year. Here’s to making 2025 even better!

Originally designed to track America’s leading industrial firms, the Dow has evolved into a cultural and financial shorthand for the health of the US economy.

The board is worried about continuity, and members may be worried about joining. One task of an interim is to absorb some of that anxiety and provide reassurance that things are moving forward. But there is al...
