"For Service... Not For Profit"

The Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial institution that provides the same services as a bank. All the money earned is given back to members as dividend at the end of each month or quarter.

The Credit Union was chartered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) on June 15, 1979 as the Pace University Federal Credit Union. On August 12, 1981, the NCUA approved an amendment to the Bylaws changing the name to the Academic Federal Credit Union as the College of New Rochelle became affiliated with the Credit Union. The NCUA is the agency of the Federal Government, which regulates all Federal Credit Unions and insures all accounts in the Credit Union up to $100,000.

There are now thirteen schools in the field of membership, they are as follows:

College of Mount Saint Vincent
College of New Rochelle
