On February 1, 1996, Eastman Savings and Loan changed its charter from a U.S. bank to a Federal Credit Union, changing its name to ESL Federal Credit Union.[4] It is the largest locally owned financial institution in the Greater Rochester area and the second largest credit union in New York State. ESL is in the top 1% of national credit unions ranked by assets.[5]
