History

Established in 1969.

Headquartered in West Lafayette, Ind., Purdue Federal Credit Union (Purdue Federal) was founded on the Purdue University campus in 1969 by a group of Purdue employees searching for a place where they, their families and their fellow employees could save and borrow money safely, confidentially and at a fair rate of interest. In December 2010, Purdue Federal acquired Members United Federal Credit Union through a merger and changed its name to Purdue Federal, after several previous name changes, to better reflect its membership base, which includes students, faculty and staff, and communities where Purdue University and its regional campuses operate.

Purdue Federal is a member-​owned financial cooperative with more than 65,000 members nationwide and assets exceeding $ 900 million. Its purpose is to be its members’ trusted financial partner for life and its staff is driven by superior member service and dedication to the Greater Lafayette and LaPorte communities.
