Our History
Carolina Foothills FCU originally began in 1960 when 26 postal employees from Spartanburg got together and formed the Spartanburg US Employees FCU. From that humble start the credit union grew to more than 2,200 in 1986 and a second branch was added. Growth continued throughout the next decade, and in 1994 we changed our name to Carolina Foothills FCU. We continued to increase services and branches and reached a milestone of $45 million in assets in 2009. We merged with Community 1 FCU in 2011, and in 2013 we were granted a Low-Income Credit Union designation by the National Credit Union Administration. In 2015 we were approved as a Community Development Financial Institution by the US Treasury. In 2016 we opened our first in-school branch, and we achieved $100 million in assets. From our basic beginnings we now have in excess of 15,000 members, 5 branches, and almost $120 million in assets.
