The story

AFGE is the largest federal employee union in the United States, representing approximately 700,000 federal and D.C. government workers. It is not a commercial fintech company but a non-profit labor union. Its embedded finance footprint is limited to membership dues collection (via an E-Dues system) and potentially payment processing for membership management.
