Robins Federal Credit Union was founded in 1954 when a group of 13 Robins Air Force Base civilian and military personnel signed the application for a charter. The charter read that the requested field of membership was for “civilian employees and commissioned officers of the Department of the Air Force who worked at or had headquarters at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia; employees of this credit union; members of their immediate families; and organizations of such persons.” The charter was approved on March 23, 1954, and on April 1, 1954, Robins Federal Credit Union was officially born. The Swainsboro branch opened in 1996. In 2016, the credit union changed to a State Charter and became Robins Financial Credit Union. Membership is now open to all who live or work in one of the 40 counties that the credit union serves.
Robins Financial is a financial institution/credit union with 440 employees that offers accounts, loans, insurance, digital services, and financial education. They have 22 branch locations throughout Georgia as far north as Athens and as far south as Swainsboro and McRae. Their mission statement is “Member Focused. Financial Partners. Community Proud.” The financial institution values enhancing the financial well-being of its members and community. Credit unions exist to serve their members, not to make a profit. Every member counts, including those of modest means. The “people-first” philosophy impels credit unions and their employees to get involved in their community and support worthwhile causes. Robins Financial Credit Union undertakes multiple projects each year to benefit the entire community, not just Robins Financial Credit Union members.
