Serving Members since 1961
The foundation meeting of the Irrigation Commission Credit Union was called in May 1961, by the Recreation Club of the Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission, at which seven Commission staff were nominated as Directors.

In 1962 when the Soil Conservation Service was included in our Bond, membership was 227, deposits $27,000, and loans $37,782. A year later country staff were admitted and our very successful Local Committees were set up. The Credit Union continued to grow and implement new services. The State Pollution Control Commission, family members and continuing members were included in the early 70's. Since the early 80's several credit unions have merged with Resources - Labind (Consumer Affairs and Industrial Relations), Housing Commission, Mater Hospital, Burroughs, Finley, Forestview and CDH Staff Credit Unions.

In 1983, with savings approaching $14 million and loans of $11.5 million, the Rules were changed to allow the Credit Union to extend the membership to people eaither living or working in the lower North Shore. Shortly after this the name was changed to Resources Credit Union to reflect both its industrial and community base.

Resources is now a successful, medium sized Credit Union with assets in excess of $73 million, very solid reserves and 12,081 members.
