History

SkyOne Federal Credit Union was founded in July 1949 as CAA First Federal Credit Union with eight members to serve the Civil Aeronautics Administration employees and their dependents. [3] In 1978, the credit union changed its name from CAA to FAA and was serving FAA employees in 13 Western states. [3]

In January 2010 FAA First FCU again changed its name to SkyOne FCU in order to reflect as a nationwide brand. [4] The new branding helped the credit union to better identify with its membership open to those working in the air transportation industry. [5] In 2008, SkyOne partnered with the United Insurance Partners to give its members access to purchase auto, homeowner and RV insurance from more than 15 insurance providers at competitive rates. [6]

Anyone in good standing with ChexSystems can join by selecting either CA PTA, Surfrider Foundation, American Consumer Council, or Friends of Madrona Marsh when applying.
