Welcome to the Library of Congress FCU

Convenience Services

We offer a full range of helpful services that assist you in meeting your financial needs through convenience and value.

Member Privilege Courtesy Overdraft Service
LCFCU can save you the embarrassment and expense of additional merchant/creditor fees and possible damage to your credit history with Member Privilege, a courtesy service that comes standard with all checking and money market accounts. A math error or unanticipated expenses can leave you with too little cash in your checking (or money market) account for a short time. And, experiencing a returned check due to insufficient funds is embarrassing and costly. While LCFCU encourages responsible money management, when unexpected circumstances arise—Member Privilege is there for you.
