Digital Federal Credit Union

Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) is a credit union based in Marlborough, Massachusetts.[1][2][3]

Key Information

It has over 1,025,000 members[4] and is the largest credit union headquartered in New England as measured by assets, managing over US $9.9 billion.[4] DCU is regulated under the authority of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) of the US federal government.

DCU has nineteen full-service branches in Massachusetts and four full-service branches in New Hampshire,[5] although it has members in all 50 U.S. states.

On September 30, 2024, DCU announced it was merging with First Tech Credit Union.[6] The new credit union would retain DCU's charter while keeping First Tech's name. The merger is subject to regulatory approval from the NCUA and the anticipated integration date is late 2025. The merger will create the 6th largest Credit Union in the United States by assets,[7] and a coast-to-coast branch network.

History

[edit]

DCU was chartered in 1979 for employees of Digital Equipment Corporation following complaints to CEO Ken Olsen that employees had been having difficulty securing mortgages.[8]

It was founded as a commercial banking institution to serve both individual consumers and businesses. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of financial services, including checking and savings accounts, credit cards, student and personal loans, mortgages, vehicle financing, and commercial lending.[9]

In 2025, DCU began offering a credit-builder loan, allowing members to improve their credit while building savings.[10]
