Richmond Postal Credit Union

Richmond Postal Credit Union is the oldest continuously open credit union in the state of Virginia.[1] Accredited in October 1923, the credit union was started by Richmond area postal workers. Operations began in the basement at the historical Brook Road postal headquarters.

Richmond Postal Credit Union filed an application on September 22, 2004 with the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions of the State Corporation Commission to expand its field-of-membership to include the City of Richmond, which qualified as a "Distressed Community/Investment Area" based on Year 2000 U.S. Census Bureau data. The estimated U.S. Census population of Richmond in 2004 was 194,729.[2]

On November 19, 2004, Richmond Postal Credit Union was approved to expand membership to the city of Richmond.[3]
