Here to help, here for you

We figure you're tired of the financial institutions you've dealt with in the past. That's why you're reading this page. Well, there is a better way of managing your money, and we're here to provide it. As a not-for-profit credit union, we answer to members (soon to include you, we hope), not shareholders. Those aren't just words. We turn them into action:

• Great rates on loans and higher dividends on savings
• Lower fees and service charges
• Excellent service
• Commitment to your financial education

Members own and operate CommonWealth One. And we offer everything you'd find at a bigger, less personal institution. Here you do business with people who live in your community and share your interest in making life better for all of us. We give you the tools to manage your money, and we give you a different perspective as people who really care about your financial well-being.

If you're as eager to join us as we are to welcome you, first take a look at our membership eligibility requirements. Then you can join by opening a savings account online to claim your ownership share in our credit union.

Once you become a member, tell your friends and family about us and spread the love. You'll stay a member for life, no matter where life takes you, as long as you maintain a $5 balance in your savings account.

Let's partner to help you each achieve your financial goals.

CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union is a full-service credit union with branches in Virginia and Washington, D.C.
