Rooted in region, Charter Oak builds brand by serving members, community

Waterford — Eighty years ago, 10 shipyard workers stuffed 25 bucks apiece into a shoebox in a pooling of resources that launched the Groton Shipbuilders Federal Credit Union.

As acts of faith go, it turned out to have legs.

What those men begat in 1939 has grown into the Charter Oak Federal Credit Union, a financial engine with assets approaching $1.2 billion and a penchant for largesse that benefits fellow nonprofits throughout New London and Windham counties. Which is more iconic, its curvy-roofed headquarters on Route 85 here, or its orange-trimmed, thick-barreled pens that seem to be everywhere?
