How to Join Elite Community 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 Elite Community Credit Union's membership requirements:

• Anyone who lives or works in Kankakee or Iroquois Counties
• Employees or Retirees of Kensing Solutions (Illinois), BASF Corporation (Illinois), Cognis Corporation (Illinois), or Henkel Corporation (Illinois)
• Employees of Sun Chemical (Illinois), Hostmann Steinberg (Illinois), IKO Midwest (Illinois), or Heartland Harvest, Inc.
• Employees of Elite Community Credit Union
• Parishioners of St. John Paul II, Kankakee (Formerly St. Martin’s Church)
• Employees of Bradley Elementary School District #61: District Administration Office, Bradley Central, Bradley West and Bradley East
• Employees of Bourbonnais Elementary School District #53: Central Office, Robert Frost, Alan Shepard, Shabonna, Noel LeVasseur, Liberty Intermediate and Upper Grade Center
• Employees of Bradley Bourbonnais Community High School District #307
• Employees of St. George Elementary School District #258
• Employees of Kankakee County Training Center for the Disabled
• Employees of Kankakee Area Career Center
• Employees of Kankakee Area Special Education Cooperative
• Employees of Olivet Nazarene University
• Employees of United Developmental Services
• Employees of Bourbonnais Fire Protection District
• Any family members of otherwise eligible persons; family members are defined as: spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew. This also includes stepparents, stepchildren, stepsiblings and adoptions.

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.
