Membership

Vision Financial Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution that has been serving its members since 1960 with a wide range of services to meet all their financial needs.

Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, or worships in portions of Durham County and Cumberland County, North Carolina as well as employees of a number of other employee groups. Additionally, immediate family members of an already established member as well as anyone who lives in the same household as an already established member are eligible to join the credit union. You can also qualify for membership by joining The North Carolina Consumers Council (NCCC) for a $20 tax-deductible NCCC membership fee.

As a member, you actually are an owner of the credit union. You have a vote in the elections held annually to fill positions on the voluntary Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee.

Once you join the credit union, you are always a member, even if you leave your job, retire, or move out of the area. As long as you keep your account open and remain in good standing, the full range of benefits and services are available to you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your drivers license, Social Security Card, and other identifying objects.

 

The Credit Union Difference

How is a credit union different than a bank? Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services. But as member-owned and cooperative institutions, credit unions provide a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates.

Member Owned

Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services.

Credit unions operate to promote the well-being of their members.

Cooperative

The cooperative structure of credit unions creates a cycle of mutual assistance towards the common goal of the financial well-being of members.

Not-For-Profit

Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates and lower loan rates.

In essence, it's THEIR bank but it's YOUR Credit Union!
