Back in 1966, Northwestern Medicine established 4P Federal Credit Union to serve its employees. But in 2000, backed by the strength and accessibility we offer, 4P Federal Credit Union became a part of First Northern Credit Union and we opened a branch location inside Lavin Pavilion on the campus of Northwestern Medicine.
Northwestern Medicine staff can earn up to $900!

And that's just the first of the many benefits you'll earn as a First Northern Credit Union member.
You might be telling yourself "I already have a bank." But do you have a credit union?
Credit unions and banks offer many of the same products and services but differ in many ways.
