关于我们
Valley First Credit Union provides quality financial services to the growing and diverse communities of Calaveras, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Tuolumne Counties of California. We are a not-for-profit financial cooperative that is owned by our members in the many communities we serve. Unlike banks who are in business for their stockholders, we are in business for our members. The money earned by banks is paid out to a few stockholders. We give the money back to our members in the form of higher dividend rates on savings and lower interest rates on loans. Additionally, the money deposited by credit union members is in turn loaned out to other members, incorporating the "People Helping People" philosophy. Our heritage began in 1949 when seven county employees formed the Stanislaus County Employees Federal Credit Union. Seven years later, eight Gallo Winery employees formed Gallo Employees Federal Credit Union. This was followed by the Gallo Glass Federal Credit Union organization in 1959. In an effort to increase assets and loan availability, the two Gallo credit unions merged in 1968 and eventually took on a new name in 1987, Vintage Federal Credit Union. Over the years, Stanislaus County Federal Credit Union and Vintage Federal Credit Union continued to add additional employee groups. In June of 1998, the Board of Directors of Stanislaus Federal Credit Union, along with Vintage Federal Credit Union, agreed to join together to become a new, bigger, and better credit union uniquely positioned to serve it's combined membership. On September 7, 1999 the two credit unions came together and under a State Charter, opened it's first branch at 1419 J Street in downtown Modesto, CA, as Valley First Credit Union.

Financial independence isn't just about money, it's about freedom, dignity, and the right to chart your own course. Three laws transformed women's financial independence: California's Married Women's Property Act (1862) gave women control of their own wages and bank accounts. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (1974) made it illegal to deny credit based on gender, ending the requirement for husbands' permission. The Women's Business Ownership Act (1988) eliminated male co-signer requirements for business loans, unleashing women's entrepreneurship. From being unable to control their earnings to creating billion-dollar businesses, women's financial freedom has come through persistent advocacy and legislative change. As we continue dismantling remaining barriers, we honor the persistent women who refused to take "no" for an answer. #ValleyFirstCreditUnion #WomensHistoryMonth #FinancialEquity

This Women's History Month, we celebrate the visionaries who transformed finance when women were told they didn't belong. Maggie Lena Walker chartered the first Black woman-owned bank, Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Clafin became Wall Street's first female stockbrokers, and Abigail Adams shrewdly invested while advocating to "remember the ladies." Credit union pioneers Dora Maxwell and Louise Herring created cooperative financial models that lifted up entire communities. Meanwhile, civil rights leader Ella Jo Baker understood that economic power was essential for true liberation. These trailblazers created inclusive financial systems that challenged both who could participate and how finance worked. Their legacy reminds us that women's equal economic opportunity makes our systems more inclusive, our economies more resilient, and our futures more just. #ValleyFirstCreditUnion #WomensHistoryMonth #FinancialEquity
