Fairwinds Credit Union (formally stylized as FAIRWINDS Credit Union) is an American credit union headquartered in Orlando, Florida. Established in 1949, [1] Fairwinds primarily serves the Central Florida region and operates under the regulation of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
The credit union has established several partnerships within the Central Florida community. Since 2006, it has served as the official credit union for Universal Orlando and its employees. Additionally, Fairwinds has sponsored the Orlando Solar Bears since 2014 and is the official credit union for the Orlando City Soccer Club. [2]
In 2012, Fairwinds entered into a partnership with the University of Central Florida, offering specialized financial services to students and alumni. This collaboration led to the creation of the FAIRWINDS Alumni Center in 2005, a 10,000-square-foot facility on the university campus, situated adjacent to the Addition Financial Arena.
In 2022, Fairwinds Credit Union announced the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Florida in nearby Oviedo. [3]
