Hershey Federal Credit Union was established in 1949. Over the years, the credit union has grown and become a financial services leader in the Hershey/Hummelstown/Lebanon area. This success was

achieved through dedicated guidance from the HFCU Board of Directors, and while the people serving on the board have changed over the years, the dedication has not. These honest, caring volunteers have led the credit union with one purpose in mind…service to the members.

From the humble beginnings in 1949, HFCU has grown to an organization with three branches

and nearly $50 million in assets. Through the years, HFCU has continued to serve members with friendly employees and convenient services. The mission statement reads HFCU “exists to serve its members”. That means that everything is done with members’ best interest in mind. A for-profit bank cannot make that claim, since profits go to stockholders, not to the people who use their services. That is the credit union difference!

Thank you, loyal HFCU members. Please join us in our 60th anniversary celebration. And make sure you spread the word about HFCU to your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family. HFCU will be around for many more years and plans to grow and find ways to serve its members even better.
