How to qualify in Louisiana

A community credit union serves the area named in its charter. If you live, work, worship or study there, you can usually join; many also accept people who run a business or volunteer in the area.

Relatives and household members of a member can often join too. Check the wording below against where you live, then open a share account to become a member.

Three routes into membership: Where you live, Your job or group, Your family. Each ends with opening a share (savings) account, which makes you a member-owner.Where you livelive, work, worship or study in the named areaYour job or groupemployer, union, church or association namedYour familya relative or household member already belongsOpen a shareaccountyou are now a member-owner
Every route ends the same way: a small deposit into a share account makes you a member. Check the credit union's own wording for the exact rules.
