Northern IN FCU Membership

How to become a member:

Membership in a credit union is not like a bank. Instead of only being a customer, you are an owner of the credit union. Since a credit union's members are made up of its owners, decisions are made for the benefit of the members, not for making a profit.

To be a member, you must meet one of the requirements below:

·You are an immediate relative of one our existing members. You may be a brother, sister, mother, father, spouse, child or legal dependant/guardian. You may also live in and be an active contributor to the household of another current member.

If neither of these apply to you, it may be possible for you to become eligible if you are an employee or associate of a business, church or other house of worship, or some other kind of social organization. The owner or other designated leader in your business or organization must request membership into the credit union on behalf of the business or organization.

Follow the directions below:

· The owner or other designated leader must compose a letter on company or organization letterhead stating the location of the organization/business, the number of members/employees it has, the nature of your business (i.e. Boy scouts or restaurant), and a reason for joining the credit union (i.e. services, convenience). This letter does not need to be extravagant but should be specific and clear. It should be addressed to our Board of Directors at NIFCU 8121 Grand Blvd. Merrillville, IN 46410.

· The letter is then read at the monthly Board of Directors meeting. Upon there approval, it is submitted to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a federal agency, for final approval.

· We will then notify you when you may began opening your account(s) with NIFCU.

We are constantly looking to expand our membership and would be happy to mail your employer information on our credit union at your request. Ask for an information packet to take to your employer or ask us to mail it to him.
