Credit Federal Teacher Union

SchoolsFirst is federally chartered credit union headquartered in Santa Ana, California that serves the educational community in Southern California. Before April 14, 2008, it was named Orange County Teachers Federal Credit union, or OCTFCU.

History

SchoolsFirst FCU was founded in 1934 by a group of 125 school employees who pooled $1,200 and established Orange County Teachers Credit Union with a California state charter; a switch to a federal charter in 1983 added Federal to its name.

At the end of 2007, SchoolsFirst FCU reported $7.65 billion in assets, making it the fifth-largest credit union in the United States by asset size. Net income for that year was $64.24 million, and total capital $836 million. Their 11.16% capital to asset ratio is one of the best in the U.S. banking industry. They reported having 376,789 members at the end of 2007.
