Founded in 1968, Independence saw the need for a financial institution that was committed to serving all segments of the population. Within a very short time, Independence received national recognition for its commitment to its founding principle: "The credit worthiness of each individual should be judged on merit, not race, sex, age or country of origin."

Today, they have made home ownership possible for more than 5,000 families, and have enabled more than 43,000 students to attend the colleges of their choice. They live up to their motto: "Together We Make It Happen!".
