NASA Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned entirely by its members and operated for the benefit of all who belong. Chartered in 1949, NASA Federal Credit Union serves the diverse needs of more than 74,000 members worldwide with a full array of financial services and the strength of over
$1 billion in assets.

NASA Federal Credit Union was originally formed in as the NACA Washington Federal Credit Union, to serve the employees of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Nine years later, NACA combined with other government organizations to form the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA as we know it today.

In the early days of NASA Federal Credit Union, a person had to be an employee of NASA to qualify for membership. But, over the years, the Credit Union expanded its reach to serve the employees of other government agencies and subcontractors as well as many local area companies.

As we began serving the employees and family members of more and more select employee groups, our Credit Union steadily became a full-service financial institution, offering much more than savings and loans. For instance, we introduced checking services in 1976, and credit card services two years later. In 1987, we introduced telephone banking. In 1996, we began to offer online banking services, and in 1998 we added online Bill Pay. More recently, we've enhanced our insured financial services with a wide range of investments and insurance options.

Today, NASA Federal Credit Union members can access their accounts any way they choose-online, over the telephone, at an ATM, or by visiting one of our many branch offices.
