You're More than a Number Here

Since 1961, Community Focus Federal Credit Union has proudly served members in Brownstown Township, Ecorse, Wayne County, Monroe County, and surrounding Southeast Michigan communities. 

As a member-owned credit union, everything we do is designed to benefit you - not the shareholders. We're local. We're neighborly. And we're here to make a real impact - because this credit union belongs to you.

Building Brighter Financial Futures

Community Focus Federal Credit Union was created to give people in our community a better financial option—one that puts people first.

Founded in 1961 as Great Lakes Steel Salaried Employees Federal Credit Union, we've grown into Community Focus Federal Credit Union while remaining committed to helping local families achieve financial success.

That’s still what drives us today.
