About Us
Our History
Forest Area Federal Credit
Union was organized on September
19, 1983. The original office of
the
credit union was located at
Larr's
Sporting Goods in Fife
Lake, MI, until
such time that an
alternate
location could be found.
At the end of the
first month of
business, Forest
Area FCU had a
total asset size of
$4,049.42 and
expenses for the
month of $10.00.
At the end of 1983, just a
few
months later, assets had risen
to
$105,320.89! Serving a membership
of
just 147 people, total expenses
for 1983 were $286.36, while net
income
was $615.92. In January
1985, the
office was moved to the
original bank
building in Fife
Lake next to
Kimball's Market. In
December 1993, the
office was
moved once again, this
time to its
current location at 638 Boyd
St.
in Fife Lake. We opened our
first
branch office in Kalkaska,
Michigan
in 1987, to be followed
10 years
later in 1997 by our
Kingsley
location
(then moved to the East
end of
town in 2006). Our Manton
branch was added
in 2001. Since
those humble
beginnings of 1983,
Forest Area FCU now stands
at the
asset size and membership
size
seen in the box to the right.
Thank
you all for your part in our
wonderful success! |
