History
Established on April 17, 1936, by a group of twenty-five employees from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (now NASA), Langley FCU initially collected a $1 deposit from each founder to cover its charter expenses. The institution was renamed Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory Federal Credit Union in 1942. In 1943, membership eligibility broadened to include civilian personnel of the Air Force, and the credit union became a member of the Virginia Credit Union League. The current name was adopted in October 1956 when membership was further expanded to encompass military personnel of the Air Force. Presently, Langley FCU serves individuals affiliated with roughly 1,000 employers and associations across Hampton Roads.
