North Side Community Federal Credit Union

Located in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, the North Side Community Federal Credit Union is a $8 million 35 year-old community development credit union with a history of serving people who are not using mainstream financial institutions. We are certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) by the US Treasury, and have a low-income service designation from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Our niche is serving the “unbanked” low- and moderate-income people who are in need of financial literacy and budgeting help, in addition to low-cost checking and savings accounts. We provide our 2,700 members with an alternative to the payday and predatory lenders who take advantage of low-income people.
