Our history of "people helping people" can be traced to January 2, 1942 - with the chartering of Beaver Valley Federal Credit Union (then B&W Employees Federal Credit Union). At that time membership was opened to those employed in the local plants of the Babcock & Wilcox Tubular Products Group and to their immediate families. And, since then, our member-owned and democratically operated credit union has grown from vest-pocket size to become one of Pennsylvania's largest.
