First Northern Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial institution owned by its members, operating without outside stockholders. Founded in 1944, it began as Edison Credit Union serving Commonwealth Edison Company employees and their families, and has since expanded to serve communities and companies across northern Illinois. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the organization maintains its grassroots heritage and aims to deliver higher dividends on savings, lower loan rates, and reduced or eliminated fees along with improved service. It is described as one of the largest and most progressive credit unions in the state. In January 2025, the credit union launched an AI-powered loan calculator to provide members with more accurate loan guidance.
