Putting big banks to shame since 1937. 

New? Nope. We’ve been here for years. Almost 90 years as a matter of fact.

Our History

Safe to say, we’ve had a few glow-ups through the years, including most recently, in 2019, when we changed our name from CFE Federal Credit Union to Addition Financial Credit Union.

1937

We were founded by 23 educators as Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union (as if teachers don’t have enough to do!). That was 1937. From the beginning, we showed our passion for providing accessible and affordable banking options to build better financial futures.

1978

Then, in 1978, we changed our name to the Central Florida Educators’ Federal Credit Union. Apparently, we loved to wear boutonnieres (i.e., floral decorations) on our suits back then.

2004

In 2004 we became CFE Federal Credit Union – followed by a key partnership with UCF and an arena in our namesake.

2019

And, most recently, in 2019 we became Addition Financial Credit Union in order to reflect our additional commitment to serving the banking needs of everyone, while keeping our strong commitment to serving educators.

While a lot has changed since 1937, our commitment to your financial success has never wavered. We serve our members and the community – not shareholders. And that’s what makes us different.

Why Bank with Us?

There are many reasons why you should bank with us – and why we’ve been putting big banks to shame since 1937. Here are a few of those reasons:  

People, not profits.
We’re driven by helping you accomplish your financial goals. That means checking products with fewer fees, high-yield savings accounts with market-leading rates, mortgages that make homeownership happen, easy to use financial management tools, lots of great loan options, a full suite of business products, and more.

Dedication to financial education.
From workshops to blogs, we provide resources for every stage of life—helping thousands each year navigate their financial journey.

Making our community a better place.
Through our foundation, we partner with local organizations to make a difference, including donating money to those local organizations when you use your debit card. We also provide our team members with up to 16 hours of paid volunteer time annually. Needless to say, giving back to the things that matter most to build thriving communities is what we do.
