First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Lorain originations date back to 1921, when a financial institution called Lake ... Erie Savings and Loan Company was formed. The mission of this newly formed company was to provide home ownership and a safe harbor for their customers’ life savings. In 1938 Lake Erie Savings and Loan Company applied for and was granted a Federal Charter. The financial institution then changed its name to reflect its new charter and became First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Lorain. From its humble beginnings, First Federal Savings has grown to its current status of seven branches located along Ohio’s North Coast. We are a locally owned and managed company and pride ourselves in giving our customers the very best in financial products and services.
