About Us

ABD Federal Credit Union was established in October 1947 to serve employees of Briggs Manufacturing. The ABD acronym originated from the credit union representing the Auto Beauty Division of Briggs Manufacturing. Eventually, Briggs was acquired by the Chrysler Corporation, and the credit union then served Chrysler employees. Mack Stamping was the first Chrysler-owned facility represented by ABD. Our first office was located on Mack Avenue in Detroit, and the first member was Ken Morris, formerly of Region 1B.

In 1967, the office on Mound Road in Warren, Michigan, was established as the main headquarters. Currently, we operate three offices located in Warren, Michigan; Detroit, Michigan; and Belvidere, Illinois. Over the years, we've absorbed several credit unions, including McGraw Glass, Indianapolis Foundry, Belvidere, Mt Elliott, and CJ Federal. What began as a small operation on Mack Avenue, focusing on the Mack Stamping and Vernor Tool & Die plants, has grown significantly. Presently, our services extend to Belvidere (Illinois), Jefferson North Assembly (JNAP), Mack Engine, Marysville, Sterling Heights Assembly (SHAP), Sterling Stamping, Transportation, the WCM Academy (Training Center), and numerous other FCA facilities.

ABD has faced many challenges over the years tied to Chrysler's ups and downs. Despite these struggles, the credit union has persisted and now stands as a highly successful provider of financial services to FCA employees.

We are a full-service financial institution. We offer loans for all needs, including mortgages, auto loans, signature loans, and recreational loans. We also offer services ranging from Share Savings accounts to CDs and competitive-rate credit cards, along with convenient debit and ATM cards, and 24/7 account access through telephone banking, online banking, and the ABD Mobile App.

Our staff is dedicated to serving the community. We have participated in March of Dimes walks, Habitat for Humanity building projects, Toys for Tots, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and partnered with the Nancy Boykin Continuing Education School for Teenage Mothers. Each year, ABD also gives teddy bears to the Detroit and Hamtramck fire departments to hand out to children affected by fires, helping to ease their trauma. These are just a few of the many community outreach projects we are passionate about.

At ABD Federal Credit Union, our goal is to enhance our members' financial well-being by offering the highest-quality financial services. We stay committed to our philosophy, providing “Great Products, Great Services, [and] Great Relationships!”
