PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – The County Federal Credit Union is proud to celebrate 70 years of service to Aroostook County and communities across Maine. Originally organized as Loring Federal Credit Union in 1956, The County has grown from a single-community institution into a statewide credit union with branches spanning from Bangor to Caribou.
“We are proud to be so deeply rooted in Aroostook County,” said Dan Bagley, executive vice president. “For 70 years, our focus has been on helping our members simplify their financial lives and making decisions that truly serve their best interests. That commitment is reflected in every interaction, every product, and every relationship we build.”
Over the past seven decades, The County has expanded through mergers, rebranding and strategic growth, while remaining deeply committed to the communities it serves.
“The County has always been connected to our communities, and we’re proud to celebrate 70 years of service,” said James Mattila, chief operating officer. “To honor that long-standing relationship, we’re launching a new Commitment to Community initiative and will award mini-grants of $2,600 every other month to local nonprofit organizations. The amount of $2,600 is in honor of 2026 being our 70th year.”
The Commitment to Community initiative has opened its application portal. Eligible nonprofit organizations must be committed to improving the quality of life in the communities they serve. By supporting meaningful projects and initiatives, The County aims to empower organizations that share our vision of service and progress and embody the credit union philosophy: People helping people. Additional details and the application can be found at www.CountyFCU.org/grant/.
The County Federal Credit Union has branch locations in Caribou, Presque Isle, Fort Fairfield, Mars Hill, Houlton, Howland, Old Town and Bangor.
