Chief Digital and Information Officer Boston Firefighters Credit Union

Are We the Place for You?

Since 1947, Boston Firefighters Credit Union (BFCU) has provided compassionate, high-touch service to those who protect and serve. With nearly $450 million in assets, a strong capital position (12.43% net worth), and a loyal Field of Membership, the credit union is poised for growth and evolution—including a rebranding and market expansion effort to better reflect its broadened reach and deepen its presence across the Commonwealth.

BFCU is dedicated to serving the financial needs of first responders and their families across Massachusetts. We provide trusted, member-focused financial solutions that promote security, growth, and opportunity. Guided by integrity, community, and innovation, we strive to honor the service of first responders by delivering exceptional value, personalized support, and lasting impact in the communities we serve. Our membership includes employees and retirees of fire departments, police departments, and municipally operated EMS departments, along with the many associations and labor unions that support them. To better reflect our commitment to the entire first responders’ community statewide, the credit union is preparing to rename and rebrand with a broader identity that honors and represents all those we serve. Expansive digital delivery will be key to our success.

Boston offers a vibrant mix of historic charm and modern amenities—home to world-class universities, sports teams, cultural institutions, coastal beauty, and one of the country’s oldest fire departments. Living here means exploring the Freedom Trail, cheering at Fenway Park, savoring diverse cuisine, and walking along the Charles River. Serving BFCU means being part of a community that values service, resilience, and heart.
