How to Join a Credit Union: What You Need to Know

Compared to banks, credit unions have yet to catch up in terms of popularity. However, there are many benefits to becoming a member of a credit union. If you've ever wondered about how to join a credit union in your area, there are a few things to know about the basic requirements for membership.

You will usually need to live or work, or have your business located in a specific area—one that the credit union serves.

Some credit unions allow family members of existing members to join. For example, your sibling, spouse or child may be allowed to join as long as you are a current member of the credit union in good standing.

You will need to deposit money. Usually, credit unions have a low minimum balance. At We Florida Financial, $5 is all it takes to establish membership.
