History

Buckeye State Credit Union was founded in 1933, in support of United States Postal Service employees in Northeastern Ohio. The Akron Postal employees established the Federal Employees Credit Union, which in March 1933 received its charter from the State of Ohio. The credit union operated in the Akron Post Office until 1968 when the now administrative office building was built on Voris Street in Akron, Ohio.

In 1975, the Credit Union changed its name to Buckeye State Credit Union. It has branches in Mansfield, OhioShaker Heights, Akron, Canton and Alliance.
