The Library of Congress FCU was chartered in 1935 by twelve Library of Congress employees who purchased 17 shares at $5 each. Today the credit union remains a member-focused service organization that still serves primarily Library of Congress employees and also serves employees of companies that offer membership in LCFCU as an employee benefit. Our founders' belief in a financially sound institution offering service and security to its members, lives on, in our credit union today. LCFCU is a full service financial services institution that offers the products and services our members need in their primary financial services provider.
