We're a financial co-operative owned by you, the members
How We Started
At 7.30pm on the 17th of July 1967, employees of the Small Arms Factory in Lithgow, gathered in the canteen to discuss the establishment of a financial co-operative owned and operated by its members. At that moment S.A.F.E Credit Union was established.
- In 1975 the credit union then changed its name to Lithgow Mutual Credit Union.
- In 1977 Hartley Local Government Employees Credit Union was absorbed into the credit union and in 1981 Lithgow Mutual Credit Union became a community credit union. Branches were then opened in Mudgee, Blackheath and Bathurst.
- At the 1997 Annual General Meeting members voted to change the name to Family First Credit Bank and to extend Family First’s area of operation to any person who resides in Australia… and here we are today!
