In 1936, a group of teachers formed the Big Island Teachers Federal
Credit Union. It was the first chartered credit union in the State
of Hawaii. In January of 1973, our name was changed to the Big
Island Educational Employees Federal Credit Union. Later that year,
the word “Employees” was eliminated and we became known
as the Big Island Educational Federal Credit Union.
Prior to the end of the century, we received NCUA approval to
change from an occupational-based to a community credit union with
an island-wide charter, and in 2001, we became the Big Island Federal
Credit Union.
