Credit unions are nonprofit, cooperative financial institutions formed to develop money management skills, support saving, offer credit at reasonable rates, and provide an opportunity for all members to improve their economic condition.
Credit unions are for everyone, but the law places boundaries on who each credit union may serve. This is determined by the credit union’s charter. NWFCU is chartered to extend its services to primarily to certain federal government agencies; numerous local, national and international businesses; and area organizations and Chambers of Commerce.

If you find you are not eligible to join NWFCU via the relationships defined above, we can approve your membership with automatic enrollment in the American Consumer Council, an organization dedicated to consumer education, awareness, and economic growth. This nonprofit advocacy group was established in 1987 to ensure and protect consumers. There is no cost for you to join, nor additional paperwork. Simply select “I work for a member company or an organization” then choose “ACC” from the list of eligibility options on our membership form. It is that easy!
