VAPR Federal Credit Union
Is a non-profit credit union founded in 1950, being the first federal credit union established in Puerto Rico. It was organized to provide its members with low-cost financial services. VAPR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors, elected by and for the members. We have four branches, three of them in the metropolitan area and one in Guayama.
This credit union is a natively Puerto Rican institution that is registered and governed as a federal savings credit union. Annually, all of VAPR FCU’s profit is returned to its members in the form of dividends and low-cost loans.
We, at VAPR, strive to meet the needs of our members by providing new products and services that meet their expectations in order to become their main financial institution.
Our credit union’s membership is a privilege for federal employees within their field of membership and family members of current members. Even so, if a person is not a federal employee, he/she has the opportunity to become a member of the credit union. By becoming a member of one of the entities approved by the regulatory agencies, they can also join and become members of VAPR Federal Credit Union. We invite you to join the more than 19,000 members who are enjoying the benefits of our credit union today.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the operations of the credit union and setting goals for management and administration to strive to achieve. The Board is made up of volunteers elected by VAPR members at their annual assembly.
Our credit union has several committees which continuously contribute to the good management and activity of the credit union. Among the committees are the Oversight Committee which serves as a link between the board and the administration of our credit union; thus achieving effective communication between both parties with the purpose of becoming an excellent credit union for all our public. We also have the “Non Approval Loan Committee”, the Asset and Liability Management Committee, and the Nominations Committee, among others.
