Field of Membership
Credit Union History On September 18, 1957, our credit union was chartered. The first name of the credit union was Altoona Bell Federal Credit Union with membership of Bell Telephone employees. In 1965, we merged with Penelec Eastern Division Federal Credit Union. Our name changed to Bell-Penelec Federal Credit Union. We merged with two others unions 1981 F.L. Smithe Employees Federal Credit Union and in 1987 merged with the Altoona City Employees Federal Credit Union. In 2002, we made the decision to change our name to Member First Federal Credit Union. In November 2003, we became Your Choice Federal Credit Union. In 2009 we were working in an out grown facility and moved to a new impressive building located at 109 Keystone Street, Altoona, Pa, which gives us much more exposure and better accessibility to our members. To date, we have grown to a membership of over 1600 people with assets of over (8) eight million dollars. |
