How to Join America's Christian Credit Union
Credit unions differ from banks in that they restrict membership based on a shared common bond, or the credit union’s “field of membership”.
That means in order to qualify for this bonus (or any offer from a credit union), you'll first need to meet America's Christian Credit Union's membership requirements:
- Churches, ministries, and schools aligned with Wesleyan Christian doctrine and their ministers, employees, members/attendees, officers, teachers, students, and others associated with these organizations.
- Be an immediate family members living within the same household as an existing member of America’s Christian Credit Union.
- Be an employee of America’s Christian Credit Union.
Keep in mind that nearly all credit unions have a "once a member, always a member" policy, so once you're in, the above restrictions no longer apply.
