About LGFCU
Mission: To improve the lives of our members
Purpose: To promote thrift among members by affording them an opportunity to accumulate their savings and to create for them a source of credit for provident or productive purposes.
Local Government Federal Credit Union (LGFCU) is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative established to serve the financial needs of local government employees, elected officials, volunteers and their families. LGFCU received its federal charter on March 24, 1983 from the National Credit Union Association (NCUA).
Our goal is to put forth every effort to enable our members to become financially self-sufficient and successful. We place high importance on consumer education and the teaching of financial thrift. The plan Web site and its accompanying offline services is designed to provide an opportunity for members to learn about financial matters from the most basic to the more complex concepts.
Our work to build financial well-being and provide education for our members is important because we believe a primary result is the improvement of social justice and quality of life for low- and moderate-wealth families. Unlike traditional financial institutions, LGFCU channels all profits back to the members in the form of better rates and improved services. There are no stockholders or paid board members to compensate.
