About the Credit Union
As a rule, credit unions offer low interest rates on loans, high interest rates on savings accounts and lower (and fewer) fees than other institutions charge. District Government Employees Federal Credit Union (DGEFCU) is no exception to this rule!

Unlike banks, which exist to make money for their stockholders, credit unions exist to meet the financial needs of their members. We’re cooperatives—nonprofit, democratically run organizations of people who have banded together to give ourselves a better deal than we’re going to get from profit-driven financial institutions. How much better a deal? According to independent studies, you can save between $200 and $500 a year by joining a credit union. The more services you use, the more you save!
