ABOUT US

Reinvesting In our Small Business Economy

Created with the express goal of creating an accessible and supportive process to quickly get working capital into the hands of Miami-Dade County’s micro and small business owners. Miami-Dade County is a place of great entrepreneurial spirit and great opportunities for continued economic growth. RISE is the fund to support those businesses that historically have had hard times accessing capital and getting the support they need to grow. With RISE, Miami-Dade County will continue to be a leader in successful minority-run businesses, continue to be a county of opportunity for all, and a county that prioritizes investing in its small business economy. The RISE Fund supports the diverse small business community of Miami-Dade County. This fund’s goal is to create a highway of access to capital for Miami-Dade County’s small business ecosystem by providing loans directly to low and moderate, minority and women-owned small businesses.

Dade County Federal Credit Union (DCFCU)

DCFCU was established on May 1, 1939, for the purpose of offering financial independence and security to employees of Dade County. In April of 1939 ten Dade County employees, with a sincere desire to help their colleagues, gathered $135 in an old cigar box and signed a certificate of origination, bringing Dade County Federal Credit Union into existence. From humble beginnings of a few dollars collected in a cigar box by those early credit union pioneers, your Credit Union has grown to a billion-dollar, professionally managed financial institution, which stands ready to turn your financial dreams into realities. We have branches from Miami Gardens to Homestead for your convenience, prepared to satisfy all of your banking needs. We are committed to serving you and our community.

At Dade County Federal Credit Union, our Members, always have and always will, come first. We are here for you and your family. We are better than a bank. WE ARE YOUR CREDIT UNION.
