When Hanscom Federal Credit Union’s founders received a charter from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) in 1953, they could not have known that their small group would become what it is today.
Hanscom FCU has grown from eight volunteers to more than 95,000+ members, from $40 in shares to more than $1.9 billion in assets, and from one location in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to 19 branches in two states.
Tremendous changes have taken place in the world since our beginnings. Hanscom FCU has changed along with it, but we have preserved our founding principles of "People Helping People." We are democratically controlled and led by volunteers. We focus on the financial wellbeing of our member-owners. Everything we do and every product we offer is designed to return value to the membership.
