About First Federal Credit Union

First Federal Credit Union Limited is a member-owned financial cooperative operating in Saint Kitts and Nevis, with branches in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Charlestown, Nevis. It traces its roots to the Foundation for National Development (FND), established in 1985 to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, farmers, fishermen, and underserved communities with financing and training. In 2009, it transitioned into a credit union model, and in 2019 rebranded as First Federal Credit Union. Unlike commercial banks, First Federal operates for the benefit of its members rather than external shareholders. Its mission focuses on helping members build savings, access fair credit, grow businesses, and create long-term wealth through cooperative finance. It has expanded into a modern financial institution offering savings, checking, loans, business finance, cards, and digital banking.
