Coastal Community Federal Credit Union

On August 28, 2000, it became official that the City of Galveston F.C.U. became a COMMUNITY CHARTERED credit union and changed its name to COASTAL COMMUNITY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. The community charter now allows us to take in "persons who live, work, worship, or attend school in and businesses and other legal entities located in Galveston County". We now offer services in Galveston County who were not able to join a credit union.

City of Galveston Federal Credit Union began in 1957 when employees of the Galveston Fire Department decided to form Galveston Firemen’s Federal Credit Union. In 1973, the name was changed to our current name to allow all city employees of Galveston to join. Then in 1991, the credit union purchased the bank building located at 2302 Church Street which enabled us to offer more services to our growing family.

On August 28, 2000, the credit union changed its charter to take in people who live, work, worship and attend school in Galveston County. To identify this change, our name was changed to COASTAL COMMUNITY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. What began as a $5 investment for 13 individuals in 1957, has grown to a thriving, full-service financial institution with assets of over $40 million and membership of over 8,500 members today.
