It's Easy to Become A MAFCU Member

MAFCU is a financial cooperative, owned and operated for you and all our members.  We are committed to helping members achieve financial wellbeing. Our unique mission focuses on three strategic areas -- service to members, financial education, and community involvement.

You join by opening a Share Savings Account with a minimum deposit and minimum balance of $25. Since credit union members are credit union owners, that $25 is your share in the credit union.

As a member you have a say in how the Credit Union is run. When you join MAFCU, you'll be entitled to vote for Credit Union's Board of Directors, who set policy, promote thrift, and make decisions in the best interest of the members.

If you change jobs, finish school, or leave MAFCU's field of membership, you may continue to enjoy the benefits of a being a MAFCU member. Once a member, always a member, as long as you maintain the minimum balance in your share account.

Some members of our staff are bilingual and can accommodate Spanish-speaking members. 

All deposits are fully insured up to $250,000 per member by the NCUA, National Credit Union Administration, a US Government agency.

MAFCU is the smart choice for those who demand more from a financial institution.
