About Us

Evansville Federal Credit Union (EFCU) is a full-service financial institution, offering all the latest financial products with great rates and personal service.

Established in 1961 as a not-for-profit cooperative, we’re owned by and work for our members. Instead of maximizing profits for shareholders, we pass them on to you in the form of high-yielding accounts and low-interest loans.

Our Mission Statement continues to be our goal and reads "Our credit union came into existence for the financial benefits of its members and we strive to provide the best financial services to meet our membership's needs through competitive rates and quality service."
