BrightStar Credit Union was founded in 1946 by 26 Broward County teachers with a simple mission: to support the financial well-being of educators. While we’ve expanded to serve 23 South Florida counties, our commitment to the education community remains at the heart of what we do.

We understand the dedication and effort it takes to work in our schools. That’s why we offer exclusive financial products tailored to Broward Schools employees, helping you achieve your financial goals and focus on what matters most—our students.
