In January 1932, the township Farm Bureau members and Farm Bureau Co-Op employees met at a local Goshen business. Together with Edward Filene, father of American credit unions, they discussed the formation of their own credit union. Seven charter members each pledged five dollars to establish the credit union, but not every member could pay the whole sum at once; some had to pay the balance in installments. Despite this shortage of funds, they were determined to create a financial cooperative that could provide resources to help one another. So on February 23, 1932, the founders applied for their charter under the name Farm Bureau Credit Union with a balance of only $19.50. After decades of growth and strong community involvement, our name changed to reflect our growing membership. In 2008 we became Interra Credit Union; ?Interra? meaning ?Indiana land.? Since its inception, the credit union has grown to serve more members and more communities, spanning across north central Indiana. Mission:??To be our members? most trusted and valued financial resource.?
