City and Police FCU

line of people

Proud to serve the financial needs of our city’s best for more than 85 years.

On June 26, 1934, the Credit Union System was established in America when Congress enacted the Federal Credit Union Act. A Credit Union was defined as a not for profit organization of people who shared a common bond, usually employers, who saved together and made low cost loans to each other with their savings.

City & Police Federal Credit Union, as we know it today, was chartered on January 14, 1935 as Jacksonville Police Credit Union.

The initial office was located inside the Jacksonville Police station at 711 Liberty Street. Several years later the name was shortened to Jax Police Credit Union, and it remained as such for the next 55 years.

In 1989, Jax Police Credit Union acquired the Greater Jax Metro Credit Union, comprised at the time primarily of the City Motor Pool, Parks and Recreation and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority. Their office on Post Street then became the second Jax Police Credit Union office location.

Also in 1989, the Fraternal Order of Police purchased the Finkelstein building on Beach Boulevard. The FOP leased space to Jax Police Credit Union and allowed for a drive-thru location. Thus, a third office location was established.

The next major milestone came in 1991 when Jax Police Credit Union converted to the Federal Insurance and further converted to a Federal Charter to become the Jacksonville Police Federal Credit Union.

During 2001, Jacksonville Police Federal Credit Union officially changed its name to City & Police Federal Credit Union in an effort to improve the promotion of our two major employer groups; the City of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida Law Enforcement.

In 2002, we constructed and opened an Operations Center and Mandarin Branch office, which includes a lobby, drive-thrus, safe deposit boxes, an ATM and a research facility. This became the third credit union location. In 2007, we constructed and opened our fifth office, a full service Northside Branch office at 2409 Dunn Avenue, which also includes a lobby, drive-thrus, safe deposit boxes, and an ATM.

Presently, we are a full service financial institution with five convenient locations. Best of all we understand our purpose – “Serving the Financial Needs of Our City’s Best”.
