How to join?

Being a member/owner

When you join OMEGA Federal Credit Union you’re more than just a customer; you’re a member and an owner of the credit union. To activate your membership at OMEGA Federal Credit Union, a savings account must be established. Your savings account is your share of ownership in the Credit Union and gives you a vote for our Board of Directors. This account carries a $5 minimum balance which is equal to the par value of a share (ownership) in the Credit Union. Because the minimum balance is your share of ownership, it must remain in your account to keep your membership open and active.

Once you become a member of OMEGA FCU, you are immediately eligible to take advantage of all of our products and services which include: free checking accounts with free home banking with e-statements and bill pay, a non-surcharging ATM network, a Visa card with a great low rate, auto loans, personal loans and lines of credit, mortgage loans, and so much more!!

As the Credit Union prospers, we are able to continually improve the benefits we offer to our members in the form of better savings and loan rates and by expanding and improving our money-saving and convenient services. Everyone benefits from the success of OMEGA Federal Credit Union.

Our philosophy is “once a member, always a member”, your credit union membership lasts a lifetime, so if you change jobs, retire, or move out of state your member status will not be affected.
