Originally chartered in 1950, CDC Federal Credit Union was established to serve the employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, it is owned and operated by its members. The credit union's mission is to promote the financial well-being of its members by providing a safe place to save and borrow at competitive rates. It offers a comprehensive suite of financial products, including savings and checking accounts, mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, credit cards, and investment services, focusing on personalized service rather than profit generation.
