Moore West Federal Credit Union was formed in 1935 for the employees of Pacific Manifold Book Company. The name chosen at that time was Pamaboca Credit Union. In 1937 Moore Business Forms bought out Pacific Manifold Book Company and in turn the credit union changed its name to Moore Business Forms Credit Union. The field of membership then became all employees of Pacific division of Moore Business Forms and Rediforms office products. At that time we were a state-chartered credit union and our office was located in Emeryville California. In 1982 we changed to a federally-chartered credit union ; this change was brought about mainly due to the tax benefits, maximum loan amounts and share insurance benefits. At this time we also changed our name to Moore West Federal Credit Union, because there was another credit union with the name of Moore Business Forms who was servicing another division of Moore Business Forms 1983 saw Moore West Federal Credit Union merge in Food Service Marketing Association of Northern California ; this merge added two fairly large employer groups... Granny Goose Chips and California Pretzel. 1984 brought two more mergers ; the first was East Oakland Credit Union and few months later North Oakland Credit Union. These mergers expanded our membership to include the community of Oakland within a specified demographic area. 1987 brought us the addition of the members and employees of said members of the Newark Chamber of Commerce in Newark, California. Over the years we have added new Select Employer Groups ( SEGs ) to expand our field of membership and offer the benefits of a credit union to smaller businesses.
