DC Credit Union was the only bank that would let me open an account with my DC One student ID card. Having a DC Credit Union checking and savings account has allowed me to save money.
”Developing our community through cooperation and inclusion
Over the past 60 years we’ve made over 18,000 loans totaling more than $125 million. That money has gone back into our community, financing homeownership, home improvements, new and used cars, and retirement nest eggs. Most importantly, we help our members avoid high interest payday loans. We are dedicated to serving those in our community who haven’t had access to financial services and affordable credit.
Our commitment to our community runs deep
- Our ACCESO branch is bilingual, and provides safe friendly access to financial products for our growing Latino population.
- We are participants in the Bank on DC program, a city-wide program focused on helping unbanked people get access to affordable financial services

Because of the Signature Loan I took out, I was able to do some renovations on my home. It made me feel really good, and it made me and my children feel safer.
