About us

Our mission statement
Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union, as a financial cooperative, is dedicated to helping our
Our Mission members satisfy their financial service needs and achieve their financial goals. We seek to serve our members as their primary financial institution while being competitive in the marketplace, maintaining a secure capital base, and utilizing professional and competent staff and volunteers.

Who we are
Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union was created on October 1, 1971 to provide Fannie Mae employees, their immediate families, and retirees with an alternative for their saving, borrowing, and other financial service needs. The credit union is served by a small staff, as well as a large group of volunteers.

The credit union is a separate entity from our corporate sponsor, Fannie Mae, and is chartered and operates under federal law. As such, it is supervised, regulated, and insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency.  Your savings at the credit union are insured to $100,000 by the NCUA. (Read about Your Federal Share Insurance [.pdf].)  The credit union handles no cash; all transactions are by check or money order. Please note that all member information remains confidential and the property of Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union.

Each member of Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union is important to us. And as a member, you are also an owner. The people you elect to serve on the board of directors as volunteers — individuals with needs and goals similar to yours — determine the policies and direction of the credit union. Volunteers also participate on various committees and serve as advisers. Credit unions are “not for profit” financial institutions, so profits are returned to the membership in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and other services that are free or very affordable.

Information on the unique history of credit unions is available from NAFCU, The National Association of Federal Credit Unions, and NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration.

Our volunteers
The credit union is governed by a volunteer board of directors and volunteer advisors. Each member of Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union has the privilege of voting for the board, which consists of employee and former employee members of the credit union. The board determines the policies and procedures of the credit union, as well as savings and loan rates, new services, and guidelines for granting loans. Our advisors provide us with expertise on a number of issues, including investments, marketing and technology. They, and other credit union volunteers, also serve on our committees.

Committees

Credit Committee
The Credit Committee meets weekly to review loan applications submitted by credit union members that are outside the standard variances that the credit union's loan officer is permitted to approve. The Credit Committee consists of five members and two alternate members. The Credit Committee members are elected by the Fannie Mae Credit Union Board of Directors and serve a two-year term.

A minimum of three Credit Committee members must review each application to determine whether the applicant’s request should be approved or denied. The manager of the credit union also attends these meetings to provide guidance and relevant borrower information.

In addition, the Credit Committee provides valuable input for new products, as well as additions and modifications to existing policies and procedures.

Investment Committee

Your lending institutionWhile the board of directors is ultimately responsible for supervising the credit union’s investment activity, the Investment Committee manages surplus funds available to the credit union by converting excess funds into earning assets. The committee makes recommendations regarding investments to be purchased and sold, with the goal of maximizing the return to the credit union under acceptable levels of risk assumption and liquidity potential.
