The fine print

• A “qualifying direct deposit” is a direct deposit of regular monthly income – such as your salary, pension, or Social Security benefits, which are made by your employer or other payer – using account and routing numbers that you provide to them. Teller deposits, wire transfers, debit card transfers, ATM transfers or deposits, online and mobile Banking transfers or deposits, or transfers from a bank or brokerage account or investment account do not qualify.
• One certificate bonus per member.
• Certificate must still be open at the time of the promotional payment.

How to Join United States Senate Federal 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 United States Senate Federal Credit Union's membership requirements:

• Be an employee of US Senate FCU's select employer groups.
• Be immediately related to an existing member.
• Be a member of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.
• Be a member of the American Consumer Council (use promo code USSFCU to waive the $8 fee).

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.

United States Senate Federal Credit Union Locations

Credit unions are community-based, and a lot of the time this means they serve a specific geographic footprint.

Sometimes eligibility requirements will mean that you need to live, work, or worship in that area to become a member. Other times, you may be required to visit a branch in-person to take advantage of a welcome offer. Or, you may just prefer the convenience of banking with institutions that have locations near you.
