About

Our Mission

The philosophy of Bradford Area Federal Credit Union is “People Helping People”. This financial cooperative exists to provide loans, deposits and member oriented services to its’ defined membership with a high level of quality and efficiency. Our commitment is to remain fiscally responsible: offering attractive rates for deposit accounts and loans, while continually expanding our services for our members convenience – not only for today, but tomorrow as well.

Bradford Area FCU was organized in March 1960 at the Corning Glass Works plant by (7) seven charter members (one still alive today 2017). We were called the Brad Corning Federal Credit Union until the merger with Zippo Employees Federal Credit Union and we then became the Bradford Area Federal Credit Union in 1987.  Since then we have had many Bradford and surrounding area companies join the credit union.  We like to keep the small credit union values and are a segregated group (meaning you have to have a family member belong or work at one of these companies that are listed below in order to belong to this credit union) instead of a community credit union, this system and belief has worked for us for many of years.These are the area companies that we currently have in our membership.
