Our Story - From 1937 to Today

Our credit union was first chartered on June 4, 1937 - that means that our credit union is now over 80 years old - to help serve the needs of the employees of the Radford Pipe Shop (known locally as the Foundry), and was originally named the "Radford Pipe Shop Employees Federal Credit Union".

As the years went by, the Radford Pipe Shop (the Foundry) was eventually closed. This led to us changing our name to First NRV Credit Union. Come get a more in-depth lesson on our early history by stopping by our credit union today!

MEMBERSHIP FIELD EXPANSIONS

  • In 2017, First NRV Credit Union successfully merged with Carroll County School Employees Federal Credit Union.

  • In 2018, we successfully expanded our membership fields to include all of the following areas: Carroll County, Floyd County, Galax City, Pulaski County, Radford City, & Wythe County.

We are very excited to be able to offer our credit union difference to all of the communities that we serve, and we look forward to spreading banking, but better throughout all of our new membership fields. Join First NRV today and experience the credit union difference!
