Clearview Federal Credit Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clearview Federal Credit Union is a credit union based in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Clearview primarily serves the Pittsburgh Metro Area, though it also has branches in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Charlotte, North Carolina.

[edit] History

The credit union started out as the Allegheny Airlines Federal Credit Union in 1953 in Washington, D.C., where it would be based before moving to the Pittsburgh area in 1966. Although it was originally for employees for Allegheny Airlines (the predecessor to U.S. Airways), it expanded through various mergers and acquisitions of other credit unions.

After various name changes to reflect its affiliation with the airline, the name was changed to Clearview in 2004 and its charter was changed to anyone who worked or lived in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Since then, they have expanded through opening new locations throughout the area and in neighboring areas.

Clearview primarily competes with smaller credit unions, in addition to banks such as PNC Bank, Citizens Bank, Dollar Bank, National City Bank, and Huntington Bank.
