In 1963, an assistant chief air traffic controller at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center by the name of James John Benson was the original founder of what is now the Jersey Shore Federal Credit Union. He enlisted the support of his fellow employees in starting a credit union. Jim wrote a letter to the New Jersey Credit Union League in 1962 noting a potential of 90 employees interested in starting a credit union. Because 90 employees was insufficient to start a credit union, the letter was held on file at the League office.

One year later, the letter was reviewed by John Kiterling, a League representative. Mr. Kiterling contacted Jim and discovered that the membership potential had increased to 200, enough to warrant organizing a credit union. Mr. Benson and Kiterling eventually met and from an initial expense of $25.00 for the charter and $40.00 for supplies the credit union finally got off the ground.
The Certificate of Organization for the FAA Pomona Federal Credit Union was signed on March 1, 1963. Jim also contributed many years of tireless service as President of the Board of Directors.

The credit union went through several name changes over the years. On May 1, 2005 it was officially changed to Jersey Shore Federal Credit Union to better reflect the more than 200 area businesses and organizations we had grown to serve in the Jersey Shore area. Then on September 26, 2005 our charter was modified, allowing us to provide complete financial services to anyone who lives, works, worships, volunteers or attends school in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. Today, with over $100 million in assets, Jersey Shore Federal Credit Union proudly helps 12,000 members meet their financial goals with offices in both counties.
We were built on the "People Helping People" philosophy and that remains true today. Our mission is "To provide quality services to meet the financial needs of our members". We are committed to serving our members needs both today and in the future.
