Acquisitions

In 2009, DFCU Financial merged with CapCom Credit Union. CapCom was founded in the 1930s as the Municipal Employees Credit Union by firemen in Lansing to serve municipal employees. The Municipal Employees Credit Union grew through mergers over the years, most recently merging with Citizens Choice, Spartan Stores, Allied Builders & Contractors and Capital Community Credit Union/LSI Financial. The merger was approved by NCUA in November 2008. The merger required approval from DFCU Financial members, since the CapCom state charter was going to be the surviving charter. The vote was approved by the DFCU Financial membership, and on March 1, 2009, the merger was finalized.

An official letter announcing a merger with MidWest Financial Credit Union of Ann Arbor was mailed to members on June 15, 2010. MidWest Financial had been formed to serve employees of the University of Michigan Health System. Members of MidWest Financial approved this merger effective October 1, 2010. The computer system integration was completed on March 28, 2011. With this merger, DFCU Financial gained a presence in Washtenaw County with five branch locations.

In 2023, DFCU Financial expanded to Florida with the acquisition of First Citrus Bank and its six branches in the Tampa and St. Petersburg areas. DFCU continued its Florida expansion in 2024 with the acquisition of branches from MidWestOne in Naples and Fort Myers.
