About Connect Credit Union
Since 1962, Connect Credit Union has been committed to helping Florida members build stronger financial futures through personalized service, trusted financial solutions, and lasting relationships.
What began as a small credit union serving Florida’s transportation community has grown into a full-service financial institution proudly serving members across South Florida and beyond. While much has changed over the decades, our focus remains the same: people helping people.
At Connect Credit Union, every member matters. We are here to support your financial journey through every stage of life with local service, competitive products, and a team that genuinely cares about your success.
Our History and Who We Serve
Connect Credit Union was originally founded in 1962 as Florida Transportation Credit Union to serve employees connected to Florida’s transportation industry, including State Road District Number Four.
Built on the values of service, trust, and community, the credit union was created to provide accessible financial services designed around the needs of hardworking Floridians.
Over the years, we expanded our services, membership eligibility, and branch locations to better serve communities throughout Florida while continuing to honor the foundation we were built upon.
We proudly serve:
- Employees of the State of Florida
- Retirees of the Florida Department of Transportation
- Employees of companies with active contracts with the Florida Department of Transportation
- Individuals who live or work in 31 counties throughout the state of Florida (links to membership page)
- Employees of Connect Credit Union
- Immediate family members of current credit union members
This growth has allowed us to serve members across dozens of communities throughout Florida, including Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, DuSoto, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Polk, Seminole, St. Lucie, Volusia, and many others.
What Makes a Credit Union Different
As a credit union and a not-for-profit institution, we are not driven by shareholders or quarterly profits. We are owned by our members and guided by their needs.
That means:
- Decisions made with members in mind
- Competitive rates and fewer fees
- Personalized service you can trust
- A focus on long-term financial well-being
- A relationship-focused approach to banking
Every product, service, and conversation is designed to help members build stability, plan ahead, and reach their financial goals.
Looking Ahead
As Connect Credit Union continues to grow, our commitment remains unchanged. We aim to be your first choice for everyday banking, borrowing, and financial guidance, including checking accounts, credit cards, and affordable auto and home loan options.
No matter where life takes you, we are here to help you stay connected to what matters most.
Together, on this road we call life.
