Workers Credit Union

In the early 1900s, John Suominen, owned a successful Fitchburg printing company but was concerned about the economic welfare of fellow immigrants from Finland. He met with state officials about launching a credit union for his countrymen and in 1914, was granted a charter for Workers Credit Union. The charter stated that the board of directors could only recommend members who were “honest, industrious and of good habits.” Workers now serves more than 110,000 personal and business members across the region with quality products and services at competitive rates.
