In October 1967, Constitution received a charter from the state of Connecticut to
organize as a credit union under Connecticut General Statutes. Initially the credit
union was known as First Connecticut Credit Union from 1967 to 1979 and
essentially operated as a natural person credit union (NPCU); i.e., making
consumer loans and taking passbook deposits. In October 1979, First Connecticut
changed its name to Constitution State Corporate Credit Union, Inc., and
transferred the retail consumer business to another credit union.
