NorthCountry Federal Credit Union

At NorthCountry FCU, we really take pride in working with and serving traditionally underserved or undervalued persons, and we seek to offer financial products and services that benefit those in our communities. NorthCountry continually identifies means with which we can positively assist the most vulnerable or least served members of our communities. We routinely seek out and work with our community partners to achieve goals and dreams for those we gratefully serve.

In 1950, General Electric employees in Burlington, Vermont organized a credit union so they could borrow money from one another at rates better than those offered by commercial banks. Over time, that little financial cooperative has grown into one of Vermont’s largest and most innovative credit unions. Our commitment to providing people with the best possible value and experience has never wavered.

Toward the end of 2001, we opened our doors to anyone in the community. We also expanded our commitment to support nonprofits that make Vermont a better place to live, work, and play. In Gallup's annual report on employee engagement, the credit union ranked among the top 3% of employers nationwide.

For years, when asked about our mission statement, we would talk about our core values - the three C's: Confident, Caring, and Creative. Our core values are what we hold true, but they don't quite answer the question of a clear mission. We searched for the best words to explain what makes us tick, and came to this: Our mission is to make dreams come true for all by offering personalized financial solutions. As a cooperative, we are inspired and empowered to do the right thing for our members and employees.

We now have assets over $1.1 billion, employ over 200 people, and serve more than 77,000 members. A vast majority of our employees and members are Vermonters and/or live in Vermont.
