BROOMALL, Pa., March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union (FMFCU) celebrates its 45th birthday today and the awarding of a Veterans of Influence Award to President and CEO John D. Unangst.  

FMFCU began in 1970 as a credit union serving one partner organization — The Franklin Mint (collectables) Company. Today, the Credit Union has 2,000 partner groups, 80,000 members, and $900 million in assets. FMFCU ranks ninth in asset size in Pennsylvania among credit unions.

Since 1976, Unangst has served as president and CEO, organizing and leading a planned program of growth and diversification. Prior to that, the Penn State University graduate was an officer in the U.S. Army, earning a Silver Star, Bronze Star, Air Medal for Valor, and Vietnam Cross of Gallantry.

On March 19 at the Union League of Philadelphia, Unangst received a Veterans of Influence Award from the Philadelphia Business Journal in honor of his decorated military service and leadership of FMFCU for nearly four decades.
