Four steps to join.

$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.

Frequently asked questions.

Who can join Great Plains?

Anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in cities or counties where we have branches; immediate family of an existing member (spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, sibling — including step- and adoptive); or employees of one of our Select Employer Groups (SEGs).

How much does it cost to open membership?

$25 minimum to open a Regular Savings — that’s it. Your $25 is your share in the credit union and stays in your savings account.

What do I need to bring?

A valid photo ID, your Social Security number, and proof of eligibility (a recent utility bill at a qualifying address, an immediate-family member’s account, or your SEG employer details).

Can I apply online?

A digital application powered by MeridianLink will be available from September 15th. Until then, please apply by phone on (800) 388-1318 or in any branch.

What’s a Select Employer Group?

An organisation whose employees can join Great Plains as part of an established group. Many local employers in our communities are SEGs — call us if you’d like to check.

How long does it take to open my account?

Most memberships are opened the same day, in branch or by phone, once we’ve verified your identity and eligibility.
