LOS ANGELES — Because many firefighters have side businesses, Los Angeles Firemen's Credit Union felt the time was right to launch its own business services division.

The $750 million credit union will offer a full suite of products including business share accounts, checking accounts, share certificates, money market accounts, a debit card rewards program with limits of up to $5,000 on signature transactions, term loans, lines of credit, business vehicle loans, business platinum Visa cards, commercial real estate services, commercial vehicle buying services, financial planning services, and merchant card and payroll processing services.

"Many firefighters have the opportunity to have a side business due to their shift schedules, thus giving the credit union a great opportunity within this business unit," said Michael Mastro, president/CEO.
