US Employees Credit Union spent decades banking federal government workers in downtown Chicago, with offices on South Canal Street and in the Loop's federal buildings. Known as USECU, it delivered checking, savings, loans, and mobile banking before merging into Credit Union 1 in May 2026, which now serves its membership.

From the heart of Chicago's Loop, US Employees Credit Union built a proud legacy serving federal workers with checking, savings, competitive loans, and a handy mobile app. That legacy now continues under Credit Union 1, which welcomed USECU members in May 2026 with expanded branches and digital tools. Whichever chapter of that story you joined in, here's a bonus move: shop through Fluz. The cashback app rewards you on gift cards for commuting, coffee, groceries, and travel � perfect for busy government professionals.
