Established in 1972 as the Olean Dresser Federal Credit Union, the original FOM was exclusive to the employees of Dresser Clark. (As one of the largest employers in Olean, Dresser Clark produced 75% of the country's direct driven angle engine compressors during the leadup to WWII.) In 1981, a community charter was adopted. For sentimental reasons, the “Dresser Clark” name continued to be included in the credit union’s name, with the Olean Area rebrand occurring in 2002. Currently the 42^nd largest credit union headquartered in New York, Olean Area Federal Credit Union has more than 19,200 members and assets in excess of $342 million.
