BrightStar Credit Union

About BrightStar Credit Union

BrightStar Credit Union was founded in 1946 by 26 Broward County educators who believed their community deserved better than a traditional bank. For nearly 80 years, we’ve proudly served South Florida with a simple promise: we’re here for you. Today, with over 61,000 members and more than $1 billion in assets, BrightStar is one of the largest credit unions in South Florida — but our heart remains local, personal, and community-driven. We’ve expanded to serve 23 South Florida counties, while our commitment to the education community remains at the heart of what we do. As a not-for-profit credit union, we return profits to members through better rates, lower fees, and services designed for you. Banking that shines brighter. 🌟
