Guiding the conversations on issues affecting military communities and the credit union industry.
DCUC is the trusted advocate for the credit union industry on issues that affect the military, their families, and the credit unions that serve them.

Our members have a long history of serving their military memberships and need to be heard by legislative and regulatory decision-makers.
