More about LGFCU
Local Government Federal Credit Union (LGFCU) is a not-for-profit, full service financial cooperative which follows the cooperative principles adopted by credit unions worldwide.
We are member-owned and democratically controlled. This means each member has one vote in how LGFCU is run, regardless of his or her personal investment in the Credit Union. A volunteer Board of Directors sets general policies and rules of operation for LGFCU. The board is elected from the membership during the annual meeting held each spring.
To be eligible for membership, an individual must be associated with either a local government or a current member of LGFCU. Local governments include towns, cities, counties and affiliated departments such as fire and EMS, law enforcement, planning, finance, recreation and parks. This also includes government-owned hospitals, libraries and authorities such as housing, airport, water/sewer, and sanitary districts. Anyone who volunteers at any of these entities can also join LGFCU. Read more to learn why members join LGFCU.
