How to join a credit union in Pennsylvania
To join one of the credit unions above, you need to fall within its field of membership — usually by living or working in Erie or the surrounding area, through your employer, or via an association anyone can join. Once eligible, you open a small share account (often $5) that makes you a part-owner with one vote, regardless of your balance. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA.
Credit unions in Erie — common questions

Can I join any credit union in Erie?
Not always. Every credit union has a "field of membership" — you typically qualify by living or working in a defined area, your employer, or an association you can join. Many community credit unions in Pennsylvania accept anyone in the area; others are tied to a specific group. Check each credit union's eligibility before opening a share account (often as little as $5).
Credit union vs bank — which is better in Erie?
Banks are for-profit and owned by shareholders; credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives owned by their members, so surplus comes back to members as higher savings rates, lower loan rates and fewer fees. The trade-off is membership eligibility and, sometimes, a smaller branch and ATM network.
