The history of our Credit Union

North Towns Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit member owned and operated financial institution established to meet the needs of its members and their families.

Our Credit Union was started on October 13, 1954 for the employees of the Clarence Central Schools. We expanded our field of membership to include the employees and officials of the Town of Clarence, and the Clarence Senior Citizens. We expanded to a community charter allowing us to serve the entire Clarence community on November 16, 2001. Family members of any current member may also join the Credit Union. Our name was changed to the current name on July 29, 2004.

After years of planning, in June 2022 the credit union moved into a new office, located on the existing property. The new building has an expanded teller and office area, a drive-thru teller, night depository and soon, an ATM. After careful thought and consideration by our management team and Board of Directors, on July 1, 2022 Clarence Community & Schools Federal Credit Union officially changed their name to North Towns Federal Credit Union.

We are excited for these changes as they best serve our plans for growth in our field of membership.
