Share This Benefit with Your Employees

Thank you for showing interest in offering your employees the free benefit Credit Union membership.

Becoming a Membership Group is easy... if your organization (or organization's headquarters) is within twenty-five miles from one of our locations, has five or more employees or members, and is willing to appoint one or more individuals to serve as our representative(s) within the organization, all we need for you to do is:

1. Furnish a brief signed letter (cut & paste from this example if you wish) on your company letterhead, that states:
   • That your company would like to join the Field of Membership of the Premier Members Federal Credit Union;
   • The number of employees that work for your organization;
   • The distance from your organization's location to our nearest facility; and
   • Whether your organization is interested in opening business accounts with Premier Members FCU.
2. If your company has more than 3,000 employees, the letter will also need to include:
   • Whether your company currently has other Credit Union services available, and;
   • Why the formation of a separate Credit Union is not practical for your company (lack of resources or volunteers to support its operation, etc.)
3. If your organization is an association (such as a community group), rather than a business please substitute the number of members for employees in your request letter. Please also submit a copy of your organization's Bylaws, Charter, or similar documentation that sets forth specifics regarding your membership, purpose, etc. The National Credit Union Administration will require this information before they will be able to approve your organization's addition to our field of membership.
4. Please complete our Membership Group Application.
5. Then send both to the attention of Business Development at the address or fax number on the Membership Group Application.

After we receive this information from you, we will contact you with any questions or additional information that may be needed. We then will need to obtain approval from our governing body, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to add your company as a Membership Group. NCUA has been taking around two to three weeks to do this. As soon as they approve our request, your employees and their family members will be able to join Premier Members.

We are excited about the opportunity of adding another group of individuals who are seeking excellent financial service in their own Credit Union. Please contact Linda Hicks with any questions that you may have at (303) 657-7262, or at linda.hicks@premiermembers.org.  We look forward to answering any questions, and welcoming you and your organization as Members of Premier Members Federal Credit Union!
