Celebrating 90 Years of USSFCU

On October 8, 2025, the United States Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU) proudly celebrated its 90th anniversary, honoring nearly a century of unwavering service and innovation that has seen the institution evolve from a small cooperative into a prominent nationwide credit union. Originally founded in 1935 by a group of Senate employees during the Great Depression, USSFCU emerged as a member-focused alternative to traditional banks, driven by the principle of mutual assistance. This foundational philosophy continues to be the bedrock of the credit union, guiding its mission to provide safe, fair, and accessible financial services to members across the United States.

Throughout these nine decades, USSFCU has maintained its commitment to helping individuals, families, and communities reach significant financial milestones, such as homeownership, saving for the future, starting businesses, and planning for secure financial futures. Arthur Green, Chief Experience Marketing Officer at USSFCU, remarked, "Ninety years later, that core philosophy—people helping people—is still the heart of everything we do. Our members' trust has fueled our growth, and we remain focused on serving them with the same care and integrity that defined our founding."

A Modern Credit Union for Today's Needs

Over the years, USSFCU has expanded significantly, transitioning from a small credit union serving Senate staff to a national full-service financial partner with members in all 50 states. In just the last decade, its total assets have seen remarkable growth, tripling from $500 million to $1.5 billion. This expansion has allowed USSFCU to reinvest in member services and enhance the overall banking experience.

Members today benefit from a comprehensive range of digital banking tools, convenient online account access, and nationwide service through thousands of surcharge-free ATMs and shared branches. USSFCU also offers competitive loan and savings products designed specifically around the needs of its members, paired with robust security measures to safeguard accounts and protect personal information.

Giving Back and Building Community

In celebration of this milestone, the credit union launched the USSFCU Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing financial wellness, education, and community inclusion across the country. This initiative builds on the credit union's long-standing commitment to promoting financial empowerment through various support programs. "The foundation allows us to extend our impact beyond banking," stated Green. "It's about creating opportunities for financial well-being and empowering the communities where our members live and work."

Throughout 2025, USSFCU is hosting a series of member appreciation events, community outreach activities, and a storytelling campaign that emphasizes the invaluable experiences of members and employees reflecting the credit union's enduring mission.
