Arizona Federal Credit Union (or Arizona Federal) is a federally insured $1.6 billion, 216,000 member natural person credit union headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, chartered and regulated under the authority of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). As of February 2008 there are 25 branch locations in the Phoenix area and two locations in Tucson.

[edit] History

Arizona Federal was established in 1936 as the Phoenix City Employees Federal Credit Union and grew significantly since the 1980s as a result of mergers and acquisitions.

Veteran actor Leslie Nielsen, a Phoenix-area resident, starred in a series of locally broadcast television commercials for Arizona Federal beginning in 2004.

[edit] Bob Bresnahan Memorial Scholarship
