AURORA, Colo.–– Fitzsimons Federal Credit Union said it has expanded its field of membership to those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver counties in Colorado.
Upon receiving approval from NCUA, the Fitzsimons board unanimously approved the change to its charter effective Sept. 29.
Having helped people build solid financial futures for over 65 years, Fitzsimons CU said it has walked its members down the path to financial independence many times over, including those who are often unbanked or underbanked.
“This expansion will allow us to serve more members of the Colorado community that we could not serve before. We provide innovative savings and loan programs that are not typically offered by much larger financial institutions,” said President & CEO Robert M. Fryberger, Jr.
Fitzsimons is one of three credit unions in Colorado designated as a Juntos Avanzamos (Together We Advance) financial institution, marking its dedication to serving Colorado’s significant Hispanic population. The credit union has also signed on to the Credit Union Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Collective Pledge stating its commitment to listen, learn, advocate, and amplify the voices of the underrepresented and underserved members of our community to create a better society for all.
The $200-million Fitzsimons Credit Union has more than 20,000 members.
