Ocean Financial (formerly Oceanside Christopher Federal Credit Union), the Catholic Credit Union, was chartered in 1969 by members of the Father Joseph O’Connell Knights of Columbus Council in Oceanside, New York. Over the past 40 years, Ocean Financial FCU has steadily expanded, and now serves as a full-service financial organization to over 14,000 member-owners, with approximately $300 million in assets. Membership is currently available to all Catholics and their immediate family members.
