Our Mission & Story
Family Savings Credit Union…. Where your money grows with you and your family, and ownership allows all members to prosper.
Family Savings Credit Union was established in 1951 in Gadsden, AL, by a group of seven Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company employees each depositing $5.25. Since its inception, Family Savings has grown to over $1 billion in assets, serving over 78,000 members across 13 branches in northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia.
Our mission remains consistent with our founding principles: Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But for Service. We are committed to providing our members with a cost-effective alternative to traditional banking. Our members, not profits, are our foremost priority. We strive to deliver innovative products and services, complemented by personalized member support.
At Family Savings, we view our members as part of a family, and we are dedicated to fostering their success along with that of the broader community. Our employees consistently go above and beyond to offer tailored advice and exceptional service. They are actively involved in community outreach, demonstrating our commitment to giving back and supporting those we serve.
