Our History

Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union (BFSFCU) is a full-service financial cooperative that was organized and chartered in 1947 as a convenient place for employees of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund and their families to save and to obtain credit.

In 1947, the employees of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund came together to find a convenient and affordable way to save and borrow—and Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union was created.

As a cooperative, we have an obligation to tailor our products and services to the unique needs of our member-owners. We acknowledge that you have many choices in financial services providers in today’s world and we thank you for your continued loyalty and support. We pledge to continue to work tirelessly to provide you with the best value in financial services and the exceptional personal service you deserve.

Over 74 years ago, the employees of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund came together to find a convenient and affordable way to save and borrow — and Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union was created. As a cooperative, we have the opportunity to tailor our products and services to the unique needs of our members. Today, we remain true to our original mission of providing the best value available in financial services to those we serve, but we must also adapt. The competitive landscape is redefining banking and we are committed to reshaping your member experience so that we may remain your financial partner in a digital world.
