About Mid Florida Credit Union
MIDFLORIDA began in 1954 as Polk County Teacher's Credit Union. The Polk County School Superintendent told a young history teacher, Rebecca Keith, that Polk County teachers needed a credit union and asked if she would manage the credit union as its first Treasurer. Mrs. Keith went about setting all the appropriate paperwork in line and began accepting deposits, which she was known to keep in a shoebox at her home.
From the meager beginnings of a shoebox, MIDFLORIDA has grown to nearly 65 branches, more than 1,300 employees, and assets over $6 billion. Presently, we are servicing more than 433,000 members in Florida with products and services that rival any local bank, while maintaining the credit union philosophy of excellent personal attention.
