What is a Credit Union?

A Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative organized to provide a full-range of financial products and services to its members, who are also owners of the Credit Union. Because we are not in business to benefit stockholders, we are able to return any profits to our members in the form of lower loan rates & fees, higher savings yields and personalized member service.

How am I eligible to join?

Yes! Being enrolled or employed at American Flyers means you can join. Your immediate family members are also eligible to join. And once you’re a member, you’re always a member, even if you change jobs or move out of the area.

What makes you better than a bank?

Credit Unions provide consumers with another option to serve their financial needs. Since we are not-for-profit, typically Credit Unions can be a lower cost alternative for a consumer. Members will also experience personal service because at a Credit Union, you come first, not stockholders.

Is my money safe at a Credit Union?

Yes! All savings accounts are insured up to at least $250,000 by the NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the federal government. Not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member at a federally insured Credit Union.

Can I borrow money from the Credit Union?

Aspire FCU offers many types of loans from Used & New Auto Loans to Home Equity Loans (also known as a Second Mortgage). We even offer a Credit Builder Loan for those just starting out who need to establish credit or those who need to work on improving their credit score. Our friendly Loan Experts are dedicated to working with you to decide which loan best suits your needs.

How do I access my money? Is there a branch nearby?
