How was Five County Credit Union founded?
Five County Credit Union was founded by the employees of Bath Iron Works in 1956 and was then known as the “BIW Employees Federal Credit Union”. Our credit union has seen tremendous growth over the years in membership, assets and personnel. In 1993 the credit union converted to a state charter. In July, 2001, our name was streamlined to “Five County Credit Union. In 2007 we merged with Knox County Federal Credit Union, adding Knox to the list as our eighth county.
