Credit Compound

Digital Federal Credit Union

A Massachusetts-based credit union famous in personal finance circles for two things: a savings account paying outsized interest on the first $1,000 and a Visa Platinum with one of the lowest sustained APRs in the country. Membership is effectively nationwide.

Application Rules

  • Join from any state via a small donation to a partner nonprofit, typically $10
  • Federal credit union rules cap the card APR at 18% even at the worst tier
  • Underwriting is relationship-friendly but conservative on limits
