"People Helping People" reach their financial freedom in the D.C. Metro area. Stay up-to-date on all things Democracy FCU!

Democracy FCU exists solely to serve our members. Unlike banks who make profits off their customers to pay their shareholders, Democracy's “profits” are returned to our members in the form of no and low fee products and services, and competitive interest rates. The credit union is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of members. Our goal is to help our members achieve their financial goals b

y offering affordable products and services, providing an alternative to Big Banks and protecting our members from predatory lenders. We strive to educate our members on financial management options designed to help secure their futures. Democracy FCU offers comprehensive banking services delivered through nationwide credit union service centers, shared branches and surcharge-free ATMs. The staff of Democracy FCU believes it is important to give back to our community through volunteer efforts, by offering scholarships to member families, supporting the Children’s Miracle Network fundraising efforts and much more.

We are thankful for our long-standing partnership with SWBID. It was wonderful to take a moment to step back from community work and focus on the teams that are doing it. The financial literacy session was excellent, emphasizing the importance of leveraging credit union access and understanding credit fundamentals. We look forward to the next session!

This is the result of the dedication of the DFCU staff. Last Monday, the Community Development team sent an informal email to staff to mix things up. With DFCU's long history of giving, they offered an impromptu request for clothing and shoes in support of the back-to-school season. They suggested bringing in those pre-fall cleanout items, the items that have been untouched or unopened, or simply picking up items while out if they could. The clock was set to one week to keep it relevant and sporadic. There was no goal set, just a fun way to give, but the response was amazing.

Thank you, DFCU staff, for your generosity in making giving a priority. Your efforts support the underserved communities in the DMV area through our partnership with the Martha's Outfitters program.
