Ozark Federal Credit Union History

1952

A small group of VA Hospital employees came together to organize a credit union. Originally founded as the Poplar Bluff Federal Credit Union, this tight-knit group of employees had a vision of providing a safe place to save and get loans at fair rates.

1982

Poplar Bluff Federal Credit Union merged with a local teacher's credit union. Since that date OFCU has also merged with Arvin Employees Credit Union.

2014

Our name changed from Poplar Bluff Federal Credit Union to Ozark Federal Credit Union and we expanded into Butler, Stoddard, Wayne, Carter and Dunklin Counties.

2023

NCUA approved an additional expansion for Ozark Federal Credit Union to now cover 25 Missouri counties.
