Who can become a member?
Membership is available if you:
- Live, work, worship, or attend school in cities or counties where we have branches
- Are an immediate family member of an existing member (spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, sibling — including step- and adoptive)
- Are an employee of one of our Select Employer Groups (SEGs)
Not sure if you qualify? It’s one phone call to find out — (800) 388-1318.
$25 makes you an owner.
Your $25 deposit opens a Regular Savings account — and that account is your share in the credit union. You’re a part-owner from day one. Add checking, a card, a loan, or whatever you need from there.
Three ways to apply.
By phone
Call (800) 388-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
In a branch
Stop by any of our eleven branches across Kansas and Missouri.
Online
Our digital application launches September 15th via MeridianLink.
