The National Institutes of Health Federal Credit Union (NIHFCU), founded in 1940 in Rockville, Maryland, is a federally insured, member-owned cooperative serving over 50,000 members nationwide. Originally established by nine NIH employees, it has grown to become the nation’s largest credit union serving the healthcare and biomedical industry, though membership is no longer restricted to that sector. The credit union offers comprehensive financial services including mortgages, auto loans, checking and savings accounts, and credit cards through multiple branches and digital banking platforms.
