Northwestern Medicine's credit union since 1966

In 1966, Northwestern Medicine established 4P Federal Credit Union to serve its employees. And in 2000, backed by the strength and accessibility we offer, 4P Federal Credit Union became a part of First Northern Credit Union.

Today, we remain the official credit union for Northwestern Medicine employees. In 2010, we opened our current location at 541 N. Fairbanks on the campus of Northwestern Medicine. We also have a surcharge-free ATM on the 2nd floor inside Galter Pavilion on the Northwestern Memorial Hospital campus. Find out why thousands of your colleagues have chosen to "bank" with us for decades!
