Celebrating 90 Years of Service
FedChoice is proud to announce our 90th anniversary of our founding as a Credit Union, marking nearly a century of dedicated service to federal employees and their families. We are thrilled to continue to provide ethical banking and our commitment to the financial journeys of each one of our members.
Beginnings
Our story began in 1935 in the midst of the Great Depression. Initially founded as Internal Revenue Federal Credit Union, our institution was created by eleven federal workers for federal workers in a time when affordable banking was hard to come by. In 2005, we changed our name to FedChoice Federal Credit Union and opened up our services to all federal employees and their families. Today, we operate with the same not-for-profit philosophy helping nearly 25,000 members improve their financial well-being. FedChoice remains dedicated to serving the federal community in good times and bad, providing consistent financial support through life's ups and downs.
As our Credit Union celebrates this milestone, it reflects on a history rooted in dedication, understanding, and an unwavering commitment to our members– the true heart of the organization.
Our Members Have Always Mattered Most
FedChoice’s long-standing dedication to our members is more than just transactional; it’s about fostering a sense of community and trust. We firmly believe that you are not a number, but as individual with a unique story and financial goals. Our people-first philosophy ensures that every decision, product, and service is designed to enhance the lives of every member. Over the years we’ve created many programs crafted just for federal workers in mind, such as FedStart, our new members program, and several highly competitive perks, like $0 down payments on auto loans and innovate products to help people finance a home.
As we reflect on our 90 years of service, we wanted to thank all of our members for their own commitment and loyalty to us as a trusted financial institution. We hope to continue to serve as your credit union for a long, long time.
Message from Brett Noll, CEO
“At FedChoice, our members have never and will never be looked at as a source of profit. We’re deeply honored to serve federal employees and their families, helping them achieve financial security with solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Thank you to all the past and current members of the Credit Union for making our 90th anniversary possible. We all stand on your shoulders today. Although the years click by fast, this organization will never stray from its original purpose of providing affordable and ethical banking for its members.”
