Historical Overview

In 1951, a group of employees from the Chrysler Corporation’s parts division obtained Chrysler’s permission to start a credit union for their employees. With Chrysler’s sponsorship, they sought federal approval to start Mo-Par Federal Credit Union. The first month total income of $1.18 was earned in the credit union’s first “office,” located at the desk of one of the founding members. In May 1961, the credit union changed its name to Motor Parts Federal Credit Union (MPFCU), and the Chrysler Center Line, Mich. plant employees and their families were added to its field of membership. Shortly after, a permanent branch was built on Bernice in Center Line, followed by branches in Perrysburg, Ohio and Detroit, Mich. Since 1994, the main office has been located in Auburn Hills, one of southeast Michigan's fastest-growing business communities.

After being approved for a community charter in October 2003, MPFCU officially changed its name to Cornerstone Community Financial (CCF) in April 2004 to better reflect its new membership base.

Today, Cornerstone Community Financial is a progressive full-service financial institution still owned and operated by its members. To help members reach their personal financial goals, the federal credit union offers financial products and services ranging from share certificates and Visa® credit cards to online banking and lending. While we are proud to deliver today's sophisticated technology, we've kept our pledge never to forget the exceptional personal service our members deserve at all times.
