Why do credit unions have memberships?

Credit unions have memberships because when someone becomes a member of a credit union, they establish their ownership share. This share gives them the right to participate in the decision-making process. Each member typically has one vote, regardless of the size of their deposit or savings. At Evergreen Credit Union, this share is your $25 starting deposit in your Seed Savings!

*All potential members must provide valid picture identification, pass an Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) list comparison, and Patriot Act compliance in order to become a member.
