Fryzel Meets With Realtors FCU Principals

December 22, 2008, Alexandria, Va. – Chairman Michael E. Fryzel welcomed representatives from the newly-formed Realtors Federal Credit Union to NCUA headquarters in Alexandria, VA last week.

Realtors Federal Credit Union (Realtors FCU), based in Rockville, Maryland received their charter last month and is expected to open mid-year 2009.  The credit union will be the first internet-based credit union to serve the members of a single nationwide association without branch offices.  Realtors FCU will serve members and employees of the National Association of Realtors - America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members.

“I look forward to the continuing progress that Realtors FCU will make as it finalizes plans to open its doors in 2009.  This credit union, like many others across the nation, is developing new and exciting ways to reach their members, and I am encouraged by their innovation,” noted Chairman Fryzel.
