In addition, once an eligible member joins, their family members are eligible. Family members include spouse / partner, parents, grandparents, siblings, children (includes adopted, foster, and stepchildren) and grandchildren.
TDFCU offers the typical suite of account services offered by most financial institutions, including savings accounts, checking accounts, IRA accounts, and certificates of deposit. The savings product is named "Share Savings" to reflect the fact that a member's initial savings deposit ($10) literally represents their share of ownership in the credit union. TDFCU also offers members consumer loans, credit cards, vehicle loans, education loans, mortgages and home equity lines of credit.
The Treasury Department Federal Credit Union has six full service branches. Five of the branches are located in the District of Columbia, while the remaining branch is located in Prince George's County, MD.
TDFCU and several other credit unions were victimized when U.S. Mortgage Corporation sold mortgages that it managed on behalf of the credit union to Fannie Mae and kept the money.[2]
TDFCU lost more than $500,000 in the first nine months of 2008, and some other District of Columbia credit unions also experienced losses.[3][4]
