Royal Credit Union was made up of just 100 Members when they were organized in April 1964 to serve the employees of Uniroyal and their families. In November of 1972, Royal was granted permission to add other employee groups to its membership and over the next two years they did just that, bringing 27 new groups into the family. That popularity told them they were ready for a community charter. With more than 200,000 Members today, on the surface they don’t really look like they did when they just occupied a small office in a tire plant.
