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.

Royal Credit Union was made up of just 100 Members when we were organized in April 1964 to serve the employees of Uniroyal and their families. In November of 1972, Royal was granted permission to add other employee groups to its membership and over the next two years we did just that, bringing 27 new groups into the family. That popularity told us we were ready for a community charter. With more than 200,000 Members today, on the surface we don`t really look like we did when we just occupied a small office in a tire plant. But there are many, many things that have remained true from day one. They are highlighted in our Core Values, which you will find on this page and posted in each of our offices. More importantly, you will find these Core Values instilled in each of our team members, who make sure to listen to your story and help you in any way they can. Federally insured by NCUA.
