History
Our humble, one-room Credit Union was started by the efforts of 10 struggling coffee farmers during the midst of one of the nation's worst economic periods - The Great Depression. In 1936, these 10 struggling coffee farmers got together and signed a charter for a new credit union. In 1939 the credit union expanded its membership base to include the local community as well as farmers and was renamed Kona Community Federal Credit Union. HCFCU's field of membership increased substantially when Kohala Federal Credit Union merged with us in 1981. So to better represent the geographic scope of our growing membership we changed our name to Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union in 1991. In 2000, our field of membership opened up to the entire Island of Hawaii as Paauhau Federal Credit Union merged with us.
