Support
From 1937, when we began, to today and onward into the future, we strive to be the most trusted financial partner for our members, build life-long relationships, and have an impact full of light on our members and community.
A Little Bit of History
Wildfire Credit Union began operating on September 9, 1937 as Saginaw Telephone Employees Credit Union with the first office being located in the basement of the home of Credit Union Treasurer Hank Koski. As time and the world moved forward, so did we.
In 1977, after a series of small office upgrades, this once little credit union gained an office building at its current location on Bay Road in Saginaw and merged with Flint Telephone Employees Credit Union that same year. Then in 1984 we changed our name to Communications Family Credit Union (CFCU) and expanded to include employees of communication-related industries from Flint all the way up to the Mackinac Bridge.
In the following decades we merged with more credit unions, expanded our office, and opened a branch in Midland all before changing our name to Wildfire in 2009. Since then we have opened two more branches in Saginaw Township and Bay City and opened a few school branches.
Today, Wildfire serves the entire state of Michigan allowing anyone who works, lives, worships or attends school in the state of Michigan to join Wildfire. Just as we did during our humble beginnings over eighty years ago, we continue to strive to be the best kind of place for our members to manage their finances and serve our community.
