Consumer education is a hallmark of credit unions’ service to members and the community. The mission of Central Virginia Federal Credit Union is to promote financial literacy to youth and adults within our field of membership. This includes providing instruction and materials that will enhance general understanding of personal finance to individuals, schools, churches and other organizations. CVFCU has been recognized with local, state, and national financial education awards for these efforts. We founded and run the first student run credit unions in the area - at Brookville, EC Glass and Jefferson Forest high schools as well as Lynchburg College. This is a coordinated effort with the schools to provide students with a way to learn how to save and manage their personal finances. Students open savings and checking accounts and learn a variety financial skills. Since 1976 when we were founded to serve the employees of B&W and now as a community credit union, we are proud to serve Central Virginians and their families with quality financial products and services. It is our mission to help members achieve their financial dreams! Visit us today at www.cvfcu.com for more details.
