In the early years of the Roanoke Fire Department, employees were required to buy their uniforms and gear. This cost was around $ 500.00, which in 1935, was a lot of money.
A group of firemen decided to help each other out, in the spirit of firefighters everywhere and got together to form the Roanoke Virginia Firemen Federal Credit Union. There employees could borrow the money needed to get their startup gear and uniforms and pay the sum back in manageable payments.
Based on the premise of helping others, the Roanoke Virginia Firemen Federal Credit Union, still today, works to help it's members get the things they need and want, all with manageable payments. We strive to provide the best available loan rates as well as above average dividend rates for the savers.
We are here to "Serve the people that serve the public."
The Roanoke Virginia Firemen Federal Credit Union proudly serving Roanoke Fire-EMS Employees and their immediate family since March 03, 1935.
