We believe in people over products

Our relationships with our members are incredibly important to us. You are the foundation of DC Credit Union.

A history of supporting our community

We were created in the 1950s to serve the needs of District government employees who were struggling to make ends meet. We are still community-driven and available as a helpful resource for the members of our community.

We believe in first and second chances

Where you start shouldn’t determine where you end up. DC Credit Union is committed to fostering financial inclusion and access to affordable credit.

Helping you live the life you want to live

DC Credit Union helps our members transform their lives through a focus on progress and forward movement.

Let’s reclaim your future.

Fair, affordable loans, low fees and personal service you can trust

We’re looking out for you. We want you to get ahead and thrive.

Competitive interest rates and low fees

Because we’re not-for-profit, we pass our earnings on to our members in the form of better interest rates, lower fees and free ATMs.

DC area branches here to serve you

When you walk into a DC Credit Union branch, you’re always made to feel welcome. For instance, at our ACCESO branch, our staff is bilingual, the better to serve our Latino community.

Convenient online banking

We know you can’t always make it to a branch, and our online banking and mobile apps make it easy to take care of your banking needs 24/7
