About Credit Union of Vermont:
A Division of Vermont Federal Credit Union
Credit Union of Vermont: A Division of Vermont Federal Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Earnings are returned to members in the form of competitive rates, lower fees, and convenient services, rather than to outside shareholders.
The credit union was originally chartered in 1958 by U.S. Postal Service employees to serve the financial needs of Postal and Federal employees and their families. Over the years, membership expanded to include more Vermonters who valued local service and community-focused banking. In 2025, Credit Union of Vermont members voted to merge with Vermont Federal Credit Union to enhance banking opportunities across Vermont, provide access to a broader range of products and services, and strengthen long-term financial stability for members. The merger was made official on January 1st, 2026, and Credit Union of Vermont now operates proudly as a division of Vermont Federal Credit Union.

About Vermont Federal Credit Union
Vermont Federal Credit Union was founded in 1953 as the Burlington Postal Employees Credit Union. Just a short time later, the Credit Union was renamed to the U.S. Government Employees Credit Union of Chittenden County. Our connection to these roots remains strong as many government employees in Vermont are still loyal members of Vermont Federal.
In 1990, members voted to convert the Credit Union from a state charter to a federal charter, and we became Vermont Federal Credit Union in 1991. After a series of expansions and mergers, we became a community-chartered credit union in 2001, which meant that membership was no longer limited to only government employees.
We operate under a community charter, opening the possibility of membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the state of Vermont, as well as any of their family members.
