How to Join Cobalt 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 one of Cobalt Credit Union's membership requirements:
- You or your immediate family member are employed by or a retiree of SpartanNash
- You or your immediate family member is already a member of Cobalt Credit Union
- You or your immediate family member live, work, worship, attend school, or regularly do business in the following Nebraska counties: Cass, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders, Washington
- You or your immediate family member live, work, worship, attend school, or regularly do business in the following Iowa counties: Carroll, Crawford, Harrison, Ida, Mills, Monoma, Pottawattamie, Sac, Shelby
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.
