A Legacy of Trust: COMTRUST History & Our Future
COMTRUST History is a testament to the strength of member-focused banking. Founded in 1935 as Hedges Walsh Weidner Employees Federal Credit Union, we initially served Combustion Engineering employees, helping them build financial stability.
In 1947, we rebranded as Combustion Federal Credit Union, expanding our reach while maintaining a not-for-profit, member-first approach.
By 2005, the credit union became COMTRUST Federal Credit Union, embracing modern banking solutions and welcoming a broader community of members.
Today, COMTRUST History shows how we have adapted, innovated, and remained dedicated to delivering the best financial services.
