Cooperative Spirit, Integrity, and Compassion — these values shape how we serve our members, support one another, show up for our community, and ultimately guide every interaction and decision we make.

Over The Years

ProFed was initially chartered in 1933 as Fort Wayne Teachers Credit Union.

In 1958, the credit union changed its name to Fort Wayne Community Schools Federal Credit Union, and when it reached $1M in assets, a federal charter was granted.

ProFed's first office was constructed in 1969.

By 1980, the credit union opened two branches on the south and west sides of Fort Wayne, and one branch in Bluffton. Additionally, construction began on a new Main Branch facility in Fort Wayne.

In 1982, a merger with Uniserv Credit Union started the diversification in sponsor relationships.

The credit union reached a significant milestone in 1984 when assets reached $25 million.

As more sponsors outside the education field were added to its charter, in 1986, the credit union changed its name to Professional Federal Credit Union.
