This year, Orlando Credit Union proudly celebrates 90 years of serving Central Florida.
Since 1936, we’ve grown alongside our members—adapting with the times while staying true to a simple promise: to empower financial well‑being through trust, service, and meaningful relationships.
Today, we continue that mission with modern banking tools, thoughtful financial solutions, and a renewed commitment to giving back through the Orlando Credit Union Charitable Foundation. And as we look ahead, our brand expansion, O Financial, helps extend our reach while preserving the personal service you know and trust.
