When you become a credit union member, you become one of its owners. You help elect the officers and you are eligible to serve the membership as a volunteer. You can play an active role in guiding the credit union.
It’s easy to join the credit union. All you need to do is complete a membership account application card, submit copies of required identification (as defined by the USA Patriot Act), and deposit a minimum of $5.00 in a primary share account. This entitles you to the many products and services offered by Kemba Charleston Federal Credit Union.
