Langley Federal Credit Union (Langley FCU) is a prominent credit union based in Newport News, Virginia, with a rich history dating back to its charter on April 17, 1936. Originally founded by twenty-five National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) employees, the credit union began with each member depositing $1 to cover the charter fee. Over the years, it evolved and expanded its membership to include Air Force civilian personnel, leading to a name change to Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory Federal Credit Union in 1942.
As the credit union continued to grow and adapt, it officially changed its name to Langley Federal Credit Union in October 1956. This transition coincided with the inclusion of Air Force military personnel in its membership. Langley FCU has been serving the Hampton Roads community since its inception, becoming a trusted financial institution in the region.
With a commitment to providing financial services to the community, Langley FCU offers membership to employees and members of approximately 1,000 employers and associations in the Hampton Roads region.
