75th Anniversary
Our First 75 Years…
First Federal Lakewood was founded in 1935 in the midst of the Great Depression and has grown, weathered numerous storms and continues to remain safe, strong and secure. Over the span of 75 years, we have witnessed numerous changes within the United States, the communities we serve and within our company. After meeting the many challenges we have faced, it is with great pride that we celebrate our 75th anniversary.
As we reflect back over these 75 years, we have grown from $50,000 in assets, a handful of employees, manual recordkeeping and one office, to $1.2 billion in assets, 220 employees, high tech electronic delivery systems, 12 full service branches and two loan production offices. Our success and longevity can be attributed to never losing sight of our guiding principles and core values that were established in 1935 and which we continue to embrace. Also, we have always placed a high value on our customers and the communities we serve.
In an era of globalization, mega sized corporations and outsourced jobs, we are committed to remaining your community bank. We pledge to you that we will continue to provide competitively priced products and quality services in a customer friendly manner.
On behalf of all the employees of First Federal Lakewood, we would like to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be your trusted financial partner. It is with a great deal of pride we say…“We’ve Been Here. We’ll Be Here.”
Sincerely yours,
