About Us

City of Downey Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial institution owned and operated by its members through a democratically elected board of director who volunteers their time. The credit union was founded in 1957 by Downey City firefighters and started as the Downey City Employees' Federal Credit Union. We primarily serve the Downey City Employees and their families. The credit union also serves a number of Special Employer Groups (SEGs) whose employees and family members can also take advantage of the various products and services the credit union has to offer.

Our SEGs include:

  • Park Water Company
  • SEAACA
  • Downey Dental Center
  • Downey Engineering Company
  • Jiffy Lube & Oil Company
  • Downey Rose Float Association

The name City of Downey Federal Credit Union was adopted in 2003 to better describe our diverse field of membership within the City of Downey. Also in 2003, the credit union became part of what the credit union industry refers to as the Shared Resource Solution (SRS), a term coined for us by the industry to specifically describe our unique structure of sharing management and expertise with other credit unions. We are currently an SRS with CalCom Federal Credit Union ($58-million in assets) and Mattel Federal Credit Union ($25-million in assets) Federal Credit Unions. In 2009 we took our collaborative spirit to the next level by sharing our branch located along Lakewood Boulevard. Southern California Postal Credit Union ($60-million in assets) shares the management and operation of our branch. This branch sharing collaboration benefits postal workers with a credit union to serve them and it benefits us as well by allowing us to lower our overall cost while keeping the same level of personalized service to our members.
