Rogue Credit Union was founded as Jackson County Teachers Federal Credit Union (JCTFCU) in 1956 by 10
Southern Oregon teachers. Jackson County Teachers Federal Credit Union changes its name to Jackson Public Service Federal Credit Union expanding membership for city, county, state, and school employees. The name was changed to Rogue Federal Credit Union following a
merger in 1982 which also added federal employees to eligibility. After the
mass shooting at
Umpqua Community College in
Roseburg, Oregon, Rogue Credit Union raised funds to support the victims in the shooting, and planned on giving up to $7,500 to them. In January 2016, Gene Pelham, CEO of Rogue Credit Union 2007-2022, began a three-year term on the
Federal Reserve System's Twelfth District Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council in
San Francisco,
California. The council meets twice a year, submitting input to senior Federal Reserve Bank management on different bank and economic conditions and policies. Circa 85 percent, or $860.4 million, of the credit union assets, is presently tied up in loans and $154 million is invested in government-backed bonds and securities. == See also ==
