The Kinnane Group proudly announces that it has added Notre Dame Community Federal Credit Union of Fall River to its client base having recently been approved to provide real estate appraisal services to the credit union. 

Notre Dame Community Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1938 as  Notre Dame Parish Federal Credit Union. Their mission at that time was to serve the community of French Canadians who were hard working blue collar workers and who had no access to a banking institution for their deposit, borrowing, and general financial needs. This mission over the years has been broadened to serve the ever changing faces of our membership. In those early years growth was slow due to limited hours and limited facilities.

In 1968, the credit union expanded its membership to include wards 5 and 6 of the city of Fall River. This was done under a program called 'Model City'. As the credit union grew, so did the need for a larger facility. In 1971, the credit union moved from Pleasant Street to new quarters at 659 Eastern Avenue. This move resolved the need for a larger facility for a period of time. In 1986, they purchased a residence to expand this facilityg and add a drive-in service window. This expansion was finished in 1989.  Since then the facility has been expanded upon and made even more convenient for members and their service area has been broadened to include the greater Fall River area suburban communities.

The credit union for many years used the trade name of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union. The credit union also was very progressive in the services offered and to this day continue to look for ways to serve its members in the ways they have come to expect.

The Kinnane Group was recently approved to provide real estate appraisal services to the credit union.  The Kinnane Group has a long standing history of providing quality real estate appraisal services with high performance standards that embraces technology initiatives while demonstrating geographic competency.

The Kinnane Group announces that it has added Somerset Federal Credit Union to  its client base having recently been approved to provide real estate appraisal services to the credit union.  The Somerset Federal Credit Union is a member-based, not-for-profit financial cooperative that is owned and controlled by members. Service-driven rather than profit-driven, their goal is to provide a safe, convenient place for members to save money and borrow at reasonable rates. 

Credit unions are chartered to serve particular groups of  people. In the case of the Somerset Federal Credit Union, membership is open to  anyone who lives or works in Bristol County. Each member becomes part of the  credit union family and an owner who has one vote at the annual meeting. 

In 2010, the credit union earned a 5-Star rating for financial strength and stability from Bauer Financial, an independent financial rating firm that has been analyzing and reporting on the nation's financial institutions since 1983. The rating is based on the overall financial picture of an institution, with 5-Star being the highest rating given.
