How To Join
Who We Are
Here's why people love us
What is a credit union?
Quite simply, a credit union is a cooperative organization that is owned by its members and not shareholders; therefore, we are not-for-profit. Our structure allows us to return profits to our members through lower fees on products and services and higher rates of return for savings accounts.
What are the advantages of being a member of a credit union?
We offer personalized service and local decision-making in addition to most all the services you can find at larger financial institutions. Typically, fees are minimal and the rates offered are lower while the rates of return are higher.
Does a credit union offer the same services as a bank?
Yes! In many cases, you’ll find all the same services you find at a bank. We also allow the same convenient access to your funds as other financial institutions. In fact, at Listerhill we offer mobile banking, online banking, and bill pay services. And, deposits at nearly all credit unions are insured through a federal fund backed by the United States government, just like banks.
How can I join a credit union?
Credit unions originally formed to serve specific groups or industries, but in most cases are open to people that live or work in the local area—therefore, most anyone can join! Most credit unions require a minimal deposit into a share account to establish membership. You may typically view the credit union’s membership requirements online. See asmarterchoice.org to find a local credit union that’s right for you or click here to get more information on joining us at Listerhill. It’s easy!
Do I have access to a credit union when I travel?
In most cases, yes! Many credit unions, like Listerhill, participate in a “shared network” that allows members to make transactions at other credit unions all over the world. You can locate a credit union anywhere in the United States at cuswirl.com.
