Our History

Lion's Share Federal Credit Union is a full-service, financial cooperative that was established in 1982 as Food Lion Credit Association CU. In 2007, our name changed, but our purpose remained the same. To serve only one common bond: the hard working employees and retirees of Delhaize America, along with their family members.

A credit union is a group of people who combine their funds and who make those funds work for their own benefit. You will find references throughout our publications to "Your Credit Union" because that's what it is: Your Credit Union. We have no stockholders to decide how to treat your money or to decide how to make it work for them, instead of you.

Your Credit Union is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. This group of Ahold/Delhaize Associates, or retired associates, direct the organization and decide the direction it should go in to best serve all other associates of Ahold/Delhaize. They hire the management and staff to carry out the plans and everyday functions of the organization.

When you open your Share Savings account, you become a member-owner, not a customer. Lion’s Share Federal Credit Union encourages your suggestions and comments. Letting us know what you need and want in a financial institution, allows us the opportunity to try to provide it.

This is Your Credit Union and we need your input when looking for new programs to offer. We want to be your one financial source, so we try to provide savings, checking, and loan accounts that are convenient, fairly priced, and rewarding. Contact us and let us know what you are looking for in a financial service provider.
