Board members serve voluntarily. Membership Eligibility . By current federal statute, credit unions cannot serve the general public. People qualify for a credit union membership through their employer, organizational affiliations like churches or social groups, or a community-chartered credit union. Financial Education for Members .
Credit unions assist members to become better- educated consumers of financial services.
A national study shows that just ten hours of personal finance education can positively affect students' spending and savings habits for a lifetime. Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit. Our goal is to serve all of our members well, including those of modest means - every member counts. Our members are fiercely loyal for this reason. They know their credit union will be there for them in bad times, as well as good.
