DCUC Welcomes IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union as New Member

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) proudly welcomes IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union as its newest member. ​

Founded in 1955 by a small group of electricians working in the field, IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union is a member-owned financial institution dedicated to promoting the financial well-being of its members through professional, personal, competitive, safe, and sound financial services. The credit union has been fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers throughout the years, along with the generous support of its sponsor, IBEW Local Union 26. 
 
From its early days operating out of a basement in Washington, D.C., to its current headquarters in Lanham, Maryland, IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union has remained deeply rooted in service, volunteerism, and member trust. Its Board and Committee members continue to volunteer their time to ensure the credit union’s long-term success and stability, as it now proudly serves six labor unions throughout the greater Washington, D.C. area. 
 
“While we are primarily a trades-focused credit union, many of our members proudly served our country and later entered the labor trades after their military service,” said Joshua Urbick, President/CEO of IBEW 26 FCU. “Partnering with a trade association that understands the unique needs of military members, both active duty and retired, is important to us. DCUC also has one of the strongest and most respected voices on Capitol Hill today, advocating on behalf of credit unions of all membership types and all asset sizes. We’re proud to join an organization that delivers meaningful advocacy and strengthens collaboration across the credit union movement.” 
 
“We’re pleased to welcome IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union as a new DCUC member,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO. “They carry a long-standing commitment to member service, volunteer leadership, and community support, and we look forward to working together to advance the credit union movement and service impact.”
