LGFCU
“Can a state-chartered federal credit union serving North Carolina's local government workforce deliver full-spectrum retail financial services while staying nonprofit, affordable, and member-driven?”
LGFCU was founded in 1983 as a federally chartered, member-owned credit union exclusively serving North Carolina local government employees, elected officials, volunteers, and their families. It has grown to serve more than 330,000 members statewide while maintaining a nonprofit, cooperative structure. The credit union offers a full range of financial services — checking, savings, loans, debit/cards — all purpose-built around affordable access for its defined membership base. LGFCU's affiliated institution, Civic Federal Credit Union, extends a similar community-banking model to a broader audience.
