In 1961 Future Credit of Detroit was organized and chartered by the State of Michigan. The main office was established at the Ukrainian National Temple on Martin Street in Detroit and a second office was opened in Hamtramck. The credit union began its work with a handful of member (67 in all) and an initial amount of $3,785. From among these founding members emerged a group of individuals whose tremendous volunteer effort guided our credit union through its initial growing pains. The Future Credit Union offices were in West Detroit and run in cramped quarters at the Ukrainian National Temple by Pylyp Sotnyk and in Hamtramck, on Joseph Campau (later moved to Caniff), run by Mychajlo Duzyj. By expanding, AuFutureAu was able to serve the Ukrainian community on the East and West sides of Detroit. By the end of the 1961 calendar year the membership grew to 152 and the balance stood at $34,297. The first purchase of a small building was in 1967 adjacent to the Ukrainian National Temple; this then became the Main Office. By the end of the year the membership grew to 979 and assets reached $1,150,901.
