What is American Heritage Federal Credit Union?


Founded in 1948, the American Heritage Federal Credit Union was the original not-for-profit cooperative of the Bud Manufacturing Company; at this time the agency went under the same name as its parent corporation. In 1985, following years of faithful service, the cooperative formally changed their name to the American Heritage Federal Credit Union to reflect the overall change in the nature of their membership requirements and the companies which they affiliate with.
