Powering ComEd & Exelon Employees since 1944

Our membership began when Commonwealth Edison established separate credit unions for each of its departments in the early 1940s. When ComEd dissolved its credit unions, a handful of employees took it upon themselves to keep the idea of a financial cooperative alive. Their innovations paid off. On March 1, 1944, Edison Credit Union was born, and in 1999 we changed our name to First Northern Credit Union. And in October 2000, when Exelon was formed by the joining of Unicom Corporation and PECO Energy Company, we proudly offered our services to employees of all companies.

Find out why thousands of your colleagues have chosen to "bank" with us for more than 80 years!
