The Town of Hempstead Employees Federal Credit Union was born in 1963, when ten men envisioned a need for their fellow workers and families. These ten men; Jerome Lowenthal, Andrew J. Parise, Paul Satz, Joseph J. Zaharis, Abram C. Williams, Quentin D. Suits, Frank J. Vurture, Gerard J. Venter, Robert J. Scaramuccia, Robert G. Smith, personified the credit union ideal of 'People Helping People', by contributing $1,000 each to form the nucleus from which we have grown into the financial institution that currently is 9,500 members strong. With assets recently exceeding $100 million, we have seen our Credit Union grow into a full service financial institution, with products and services second to none.
