Welcome HEMA FCU Members

We are pleased to announce that Healthcare Employees Mid-Atlantic (HEMA) Federal Credit Union and PAHO/WHO Federal Credit Union begin a new chapter as Bienestar Federal Credit Union.

Welcome to Bienestar FCU 

We share a common mission: helping people live healthier financial lives. By coming together, we will build on that shared purpose as we grow alongside the members and communities we serve today and well into the future.

Our new name, Bienestar FCU, reflects our commitment to financial wellness and the overall well-being of our members. It also represents the unity and possibilities ahead.

Beginning September 1, HEMA FCU members will become part of a strong, financially sound credit union that offers greater convenience and a comprehensive suite of financial products and services.

We're excited about the future and having you with us for the journey.
