History
- Founded in 1952, Frontwave Credit Union began aboard MCB Camp Pendleton and was originally chartered as Camp Pendleton Federal Credit Union. The initial charter was for membership of active and retired civil service employees.
- In 1955 the charter was expanded to include active and retired military personnel.
- In 1965 the credit union merged with Naval Ammunition Depot Federal Credit Union.
- In 1968 a merger took place with 29 Palms Credit Union.
- In 1975 the name changed to Marine Corps West Federal Credit Union, and a new headquarters was constructed aboard MCB Camp Pendleton.
- In 1980 a merger with Marine Corps Recruit Depot occurred.
- In 1982 they merged with Barstow Community Federal Credit Union. They also added the U.S. National Training Center at Fort Irwin to their charter.
- In 1995 the credit union assumed administrative management of the Recruit Direct Deposit Program. The program was so successful that the credit union was awarded the "Golden Hammer Award" in 1997 by Vice President Al Gore for reducing government waste.[6]
- In 2002 the credit union changed from a Federally Chartered to a State Chartered (Community) credit union, which included the counties of San Diego and San Bernardino. This is also when the name was changed to Pacific Marine Credit Union (PMCU).
