Value of a DCUC Membership
DoD Advocacy

DCUC is proud to be our members' voice at the DoD/Pentagon's highest levels. DCUC assists with solving on-base issues, such as operating agreements, land leases, and on-base access.

In addition, DCUC maintains strong contacts at the Veteran's Administration to ensure the financial well-being of servicemembers and their families throughout the military lifecycle.

Legislative & Regulatory Representation

DCUC advocates on behalf of your credit union and empowers you with representation on Capitol Hill and with industry Regulators, such as the NCUA and CFPB.

​DCUC provides an expert voice on issues affecting credit unions and their members, bringing the military perspective to national and state issues.

Education Resources

DCUC is the place to get industry resources, relevant news and insights, and professional development materials. We provide continuing education opportunities for your staff through our GEM Scholarship program.
​
We also offer four educational conferences per year where you can learn all the latest in DoD news beyond just the banking and financials. DCUC also provides financial education resources and training modules such as the Installation, Policy, and Operations Guide and the Armed Forces Financial Guide.

Network & Professional Credibility

Joining DCUC shows your members that you are part of a respected network that is truly serving those who serve our country. Our trade association offers valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders and fellow Defense Credit Union colleagues who understand the challenges and pride in serving our military and veterans.
​
DCUC membership allows you to stay on top of important, ever-evolving issues, trends, and legislation within the industry.
DCUC is perfectly positioned to take the lead in fighting to ensure the
Military Lending Act won't hurt servicemembers on active duty.
