Our History
WSSC Federal Credit Union was founded on April 16, 1964 in Hyattsville, MD by a small group of Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) employees who sought to provide their fellow employees with a democratically governed, member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative that would allow them to pool their savings and provide small loans. The credit union has continually grown over the years as new employees were onboarded at WSSC and brought the benefits of membership to their family members. In more recent years, the credit union welcomed the members of Reid Temple Federal Credit Union in 2016 and those of St Gabriel’s Federal Credit Union in 2023, through merger. Today we provide a wide array of products and services to more than 3,400 members and hold assets of more than $34 Million.
Over the years that followed our founding, the credit union has evolved into a full service financial institution. This evolution included milestones such as the introduction of checking accounts; debit cards; telephone, online and mobile banking; credit cards; mortgages and much more. Regardless of these changes, we have never lost sight of our main mission as a credit union. We have built a reputation for delivering exceptional service, competitive rates, and innovative financial products that make managing your money easier. Our mission is to provide more than just banking services—we’re here to empower our members to take control of their financial futures.
Focused on Member Success
At WSSC FCU, our commitment to our members is at the core of everything we do. As a not-for-profit, we reinvest our earnings back into the credit union to offer better rates, lower fees, and improved services. We’re proud to offer products that meet the needs of every stage of life, from helping first-time savers build a financial foundation to providing comprehensive home and auto loans for families.
Our focus is on making sure our members can access the tools and resources they need, whether it’s through convenient digital banking solutions or personalized support at our branches. We believe in financial empowerment for all, and we work hard to ensure that every member feels supported and confident in their financial decisions.
A Partner You Can Trust
Our values are built on a foundation of trust, community, and service. As a member of WSSC FCU, you’re not a customer—you’re an owner. That means we’re here to help you succeed, and every decision we make is centered around what’s best for our members and their financial well-being.
We’re proud of our rich history and excited about the future as we continue to innovate and provide the financial services that matter most to our members.
