About us

The Finest Federal Credit Union is the only financial institution specifically created to serve the needs of all law enforcement personnel in New York State—both uniform and civilian—including retirees and all family members. Chartered in 2015, The Finest FCU evolved from the vision of a group of retired NYPD officers who believed their colleagues should receive the best financial services available, services tailored to the special needs of the law enforcement community and affiliated departments.

PROUDLY SERVING THOSE THAT SERVE US

Upon the formation of The Finest FCU (Federal Credit Union), former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio praised The Finest FCU for serving police officers who take unique risks due to the nature of their job. “It is common for peace officer organizations to establish specialized credit unions that provide savings, lending, and insurance products that meet their special needs,” de Blasio said. “I am pleased to learn that a specialized credit union, The Finest Federal Credit Union, is being established for that purpose.”
