Navy Federal Credit Union
A reliable financial institution, Navy Federal Credit Union was founded by seven Navy Department workers during the hard times of the Great Depression. Their objective was modest but admirable: to establish a company that would provide reasonable loans and promote saving among their coworkers. From humble beginnings as a cooperative in 1933, it has grown into a financial community that supports over 13 million members, including members of the armed forces of all stripes, veterans, and their families, in addition to the naval staff.
