WAILUKU FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Wailuku Federal Credit Union, formerly Wailuku Community Federal Credit Union, was chartered in January 1955 with the help of Manuel S. Molina, a Wailuku businessman who felt that there was a need for a credit union in Wailuku. Before starting his own business, Mr. Molina was introduced to credit unions through his work at the pineapple company, which had its own credit union. After leaving the pineapple company and opening a business in Wailuku, Mr. Molina spoke with a director from Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Federal Credit Union to learn how he could start a credit union in Wailuku. He then organized a committee made up of Wailuku businesspeople. The committee began meeting and filing the necessary documentation with the National Credit Union Administration. And in January 1955, Wailuku Community Federal Credit Union received its federal charter. There have been no major changes to the credit union since, except for dropping the word "Community" from our name.
