United Nations Federal Credit Union (UNFCU) is a not-for-profit cooperative credit union founded in 1947 by employees of the United Nations to provide secure banking and financial services to the global community of people who serve the world. It operates as a membership institution rather than a commercial bank, and states that it prioritises long-term member relationships over individual transactions.
Its technology work centres on secure banking and financial services platforms, and on delivering digital banking across time zones and borders. Services reach members in New York, Uganda and Geneva, and the organisation's team and community spans 200 nations and territories. UNFCU describes itself as a climate-neutral organisation, with environmental and social responsibility embedded in its operations and a stated commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The culture is described as purpose-driven and relationship-based, with values of inclusion, dignity and equality, and an emphasis on diverse perspectives. Work is conducted across borders and time zones to meet members where they are. The organisation invests in professional development and wellness programmes and states a commitment to work-life harmony.
