About Indiana State University Federal Credit Union
Indiana State University Federal Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial institution owned and operated by its members, does not resemble the modest means with which it first began. Chartered in 1960, Indiana State University FCU was organized by a small group of faculty members from Indiana State University who were familiar with the benefits of a credit union. Indiana State University FCU has grown from a one-room office in the basement of the Alumni Center on the ISU campus to its attractive facility on North 3rd Street. With an asset size of $133 million, Indiana State University FCU serves its nearly 10,000 members in Clay, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo counties with a full range of remote delivery amenities, 24-hour Touch Tone Teller, CUOnline and Mobile Account Access, debit and credit cards, ATMs and electronic payments.
In 1995, the Indiana State University FCU became Indiana State University's first “President's Merit Scholar” donor, providing a full, four-year scholarship to a selected incoming freshman. In 2008, Indiana State University FCU began the Indiana State University FCU Scholarship Program. The credit union has awarded $152,000 in scholarships to 22 college students through this program.
The Indiana State University FCU will continue encouraging their “people helping people” philosophy in this financially competitive world by providing the best traditional and innovative services possible.
