Celebrating 90 Years

Our Story: Investing in You & Your Community Since 1935

As we celebrate our 90th anniversary in 2025, 3Rivers reflects on a rich history rooted in growth, giving back, and community.

Established in 1935, as the International Harvester Company Fort Wayne Works Employees Federal Credit Union, we began with just $250 in assets and three employees. By 1947, we reached $1 million in assets, and in 1965, we became the largest credit union in Indiana (we’re the fourth largest today). In 2020, we acquired West End Bank, extending our services into East Central Indiana. Today, we’ve surpassed $2.47 billion in assets and serve over 130,000 members across 24 branches. Our recent expansion into Central Indiana, with the goal of helping even more people achieve financial wellness while investing in their communities, demonstrates our desire to stay true to our roots and the credit union philosophy of “people helping people.”

Our commitment to giving back over the years extends far beyond financial contributions—it’s about investing in people. Supporting the financial wellness of our members and community has always been, and always will be, at the heart of all we do. We offer free financial counseling, educational resources, and innovative tools that empower individuals, families, and businesses to make informed decisions and achieve their goals. We’d love to help you reach yours!
