BayPort Celebrates International Credit Union Day 2020!

Join us as we celebrate over 90 years of empowering people in our community through financial services, education, and support.

The Birth of BayPort Credit Union

In 1928, nine shipyard workers from Newport News Shipbuilding wanted to form an organization with a specific purpose as a low-interest source of loans and a trusted place to deposit money. So the shipbuilders of oil tankers, ocean liners, and United States Navy battleships pooled their money to establish a Credit Union Charter. The Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company Employees’ Credit Union opened for official business on June 1, 1928. During the first month of operations, the member-owned credit union collected $973 in deposits and granted $250 in loans.
