Reasons to join Actors FCU
- We make banking simple! It only takes $100 to join Actors FCU and as long as you leave that money in your savings account, there are no other minimum balance requirements or monthly fees to worry about. We offer all the conveniences of online and mobile banking, including remote check deposit, to keep you connected to your money 24/7.
- We've got a wide reach. In addition to our offices in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and North Hollywood, our members have access to an additional 5,000+ credit union locations and nearly 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide. This nationwide access is thanks to our partnership in the CO-OP Network.
- We're a not-for-profit. Our not-for-profit status allows us to offer fewer fees and better rates than for-profit banks.
- We're a co-operative. All of our members are equal owners of the credit union, with the right to vote on important credit union matters.
- We're community minded. Our credit union was founded in 1962 specifically to serve members of Actors' Equity Association. Although we've expanded through the years, we still maintain a closed membership which means that only professionals from approved groups in the entertainment industry are allowed to join.
Benefits of credit union membership
