History

Established in 1935.

Tropical Financial Credit Union opened their doors on March 13, 1935 with just over $ 800 in deposits to serve employees of Southern Bell Telephone Company. Throughout the 30s, 40s, and 50s we continued to grow.

By the 1960s our assets had reached over $ 10Million. In the 70s, we started to expand our services to include checking, credit cards and ATMs. By 1979 we had evolved into a full service financial institution.

In 1989, we opened our field of membership to include other partner companies outside the bell system companies that we initially served.

During the 1990s we changed our name to Tropical Federal Credit Union and grew to serve over 200 partner companies. Then in 2001 we changed our name once more to Tropical Financial Credit Union and opened our field of membership to the community.

Today we serve over 54,000 members and are over $ 550Million in assets. We are proud of our 80 year history and we look forward to serving the South Florida community for many more decades!
