History
ESL Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1920 as Eastman Savings and Loan Association by George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak Company. Mr. Eastman's intent at that time was to provide his employees with a financial institution that served their financial needs--especially by providing mortgages.
On February 1, 1996, Eastman Savings and Loan changed its charter from a U.S. bank to a Federal Credit Union, changing its name to ESL Federal Credit Union. It is the largest locally-owned financial institution in the Greater Rochester area and the largest credit union in New York State. ESL is in the top 1% of national credit unions ranked by assets.
ESL's longevity and success can be attributed to the basic principles set forth by George Eastman. He believed employees should have more than just good wages--a way of thinking that was far ahead of management philosophy of his era. Eastman believed that the prosperity of an organization was due not only to inventions and patents, but also to workers' contributions and goodwill.
ESL has now appeared on the Great Place to Work® Best Small and Medium Workplaces for four years (2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014).
