History

In Windsor-Essex, credit unions rose to popularity through the news media and automotive sectors, and in the early days, typically consisted of employee groups from specific companies. Over time, they realized the benefit of coming together to share ideas and support each other, eventually bringing their operations together to form larger financial institutions. WFCU operates today following the amalgamation of 16 credit unions.
