Melrose Credit Union was established in 1922 to provide financial resources for individuals and small business owners from the Bronx, NY. Through the Credit Union, community residents were afforded the means to pursue their American Dreams. Our mission today is the same as it was then: to empower the community by offering affordable financial products and services. Today, that commitment to the communities we serve has helped transform Melrose Credit Union from a small storefront in the Bronx, NY into one of the most successful financial institutions in the United States. Melrose members enjoy some of the highest saving yields and lowest loan rates in the region. Melrose Credit Union operates under the supervision of the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). All deposit accounts are federally insured under the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) to at least $250,000 per account by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUSIF is subsidized by participating credit unions and does not receive funding from any tax revenues.
