The Van Cortlandt Cooperative Federal Credit Union was organized by Sidney Stahl, the first Managing Director of the New York State Credit Union League, and was federally chartered in March 1936. Its purpose was to provide a safe and convenient place for Cooperators of the Amalgamated Housing, to save and borrow. Many of the charter members also belonged to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union which recognized the need to work together to accomplish common goals. As additional housing cooperatives were built in the community, residents and employees of the Park Reservoir, Mutual, Orloff Towers, and Cannon Heights Cooperatives were added to our field of membership.
Over the years, we added the Amalgamated Nursery and the Ampark Neighborhood schools’ faculty, students, and parents, growing to serve over 3,500 members in our community. We also adopted a new slogan that reflects our increased focus on the credit union principles “Not for Profit, Not for Charity, but for Service”…... “Your Friendly Credit Union by the Park.”
Our vision is to become the financial provider of choice by offering the highest standard of service to our members. Our dedicated staff looks forward to fulfilling all of your dreams.
