PAHO/WHO Federal Credit Union announces name change to Bienestar Federal Credit Union effective September 1, 2026

Washington, DC (July 7, 2026) |

PAHO/WHO Federal Credit Union has announced that effective September 1, 2026, the organization will change its name to Bienestar Federal Credit Union.

The new name and brand celebrate the credit union’s longstanding commitment to financial wellness and the overall well-being of its members and the communities it serves.

Since 1949, the credit union has served members with a mission centered on helping people live healthier financial lives. Over the years, its Credit Union family has continued to grow. What began with roots in the PAHO and global health community has expanded to welcome and serve a broader membership from some of the region’s leading healthcare, education, and public service organizations.

“For generations, financial wellness has been at the heart of who we are and the people we serve,” said Miguel Boluda, Jr., CEO PAHO/WHO FCU. “Our new name honors our PAHO/WHO roots, reaffirms our mission and more clearly reflects the broader community we proudly serve today. We’re excited about this next chapter and grateful to have our members with us on this journey.”

Beginning September 1, members and the public will begin seeing the Bienestar Federal Credit Union name reflected across the organization’s website, signage, communications, and branding materials. Members will continue to receive the same trusted service, products, and personalized support they know today. Existing accounts, services, and member relationships will remain unchanged. 

Additional information about the transition to Bienestar Federal Credit Union can be found on its website, pahofcu.org.
