Who We Are
Communication Federal Credit Union, originally Pioneer Bell Credit Union, was founded by employees of Southwestern Bell Telephone in downtown Oklahoma City. A federal charter for the Pioneer Bell Credit Union was granted in 1939.
Since that time, CFCU has grown to serve many outstanding business partners including OG&E, ONEOK, ONE Gas, AEP/PSO, Chaparral Energy, AT&T, Goodyear Tire and more than 250 other groups. The name was changed to Communication Federal Credit Union in 1982 to reflect this growing field of membership.

Connecting with the Community
Our motto is “connecting with you” and we believe connections are central to all that we do. Our commitment to community is a big part of who we are as a credit union and it is an important characteristic of our culture.
Each month, our employees work together to organize and be involved with unique community events. We’ve raised money for MS, helped the humane society find homes for animals, sponsored blood drives, collected books and money for The Children’s Hospital, not to mention dozens of other events. We are a part of our communities.
We strive to reach out to local communities and members through education and member appreciation. CFCU offers free financial seminars to the public.
As your local credit union we understand that our members are the heart of our communities and we will continue to show our commitment to connecting with local communities in the future.
