Honoring the Legacy of Benchmark Federal Credit Union
Benchmark Federal Credit Union’s story is one of steady growth, deep community commitment, and unwavering dedication to the members it served for more than eight decades. Founded on March 12, 1940, as WYBRO Federal Credit Union, the institution was created to meet the financial needs of the employees and families of John Wyeth & Brothers, Inc. in Philadelphia. From the very beginning, Benchmark operated with a simple mission: to put members first and tailor financial services to help them thrive.
Throughout the years, Benchmark expanded its reach through a series of strategic mergers with WYCHESTER Federal Credit Union (1983), WYETTA Federal Credit Union (1988), and A.H.P. Employees Federal Credit Union (1992). These partnerships helped strengthen the credit union’s ability to support a wider and more diverse membership base. In 1989, the organization formally adopted the name Benchmark Federal Credit Union—a reflection of its growing identity as a trusted financial partner.
As membership continued to increase, Benchmark relocated its Main Office to West Chester, PA in 1991, and again in 2008 to a modern facility on McDaniel Drive. Additional branches followed, including locations in Great Valley Corporate Park, downtown West Chester, and Phoenixville. Benchmark’s charter also evolved over time: shifting to a Multi‑SEG charter in 2011 and ultimately becoming a Community Charter in 2015, extending membership eligibility to all of Chester County.
In March 2026, Benchmark Federal Credit Union became part of the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union family, and we proudly honor their remarkable 85‑plus‑year legacy. Their commitment to member-focused service, community involvement, and financial empowerment aligns perfectly with FMFCU’s longstanding values. We are honored to carry forward Benchmark’s history, spirit, and dedication as we continue serving members with the same care and purpose that defined Benchmark since 1940.

FMFCU Safety and Soundness
Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union is safe, sound and “well capitalized” as defined by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
How is Money Insured at FMFCU?
Deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration, a federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions and insures savings in federal and most state-chartered credit unions across the country. NCUA insures these deposits through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), a federal fund backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Coverage is very similar to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that insures deposits at banks. Click here to sign up!
No member has lost one cent of NCUA-insured funds as a result of credit union failures. Although failures are rare, NCUA would cover your share amounts dollar for dollar up to insurance limits.
What is NCUA’s Insurance Coverage for Credit Unions?
The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) provides all members of federally insured credit unions with $250,000 in coverage for their single ownership accounts. Additional coverage is available for joint accounts and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). For a complete explanation, read the NCUA publication on how your accounts are federally insured.
