History

Established in 1937 as Oil-O-Matic Credit Union, we became Eureka Williams Federal Credit Union ten years later, then Eureka Company Federal Credit Union in 1974. The word "company" was dropped from our name in 1992 when Eureka's manufacturing operations moved out of town, and we expanded to serve BroMenn and then AFNI company employees. Several other employee groups were added until September 19, 2001, when we were granted a community charter to serve everyone in Bloomington-Normal. In February 2002, we became Prairieland Federal Credit Union, a name which reflects not only our geographic heritage, but our long history of serving hard-working people helping each other succeed and prosper.
