A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative. That means we are owned by and operated by you and your fellow members. There are no stockholders, partners, or outside owners. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of members like you, elected by you. In addition to the volunteer Board of Directors, DFCU has another volunteer group. The Supervisory Committee's primary responsibility is to ensure that the Credit Union's financial position is both safe and sound. You are our only priority.
