The First Harvest Credit Union Difference
When it comes to banking – owning is better! We are a different kind of financial institution. Owned by and working for our members, we help them take control of their finances by empowering members to reach their dreams, whatever they may be.
- We have a unique business model - When you open an account, you become a member-owner along with all of our other members. It doesn’t matter if you have $5.00 or $500,000 in your account.
- Your money works for you - We are what’s called a "Not-for-profit financial cooperative." We exist to serve our members, not to make a profit. Surplus income gets returned to our members in the form of lower fees, lower loan rates, and higher interest rates on deposit accounts.
- Deposits at First Harvest Credit Union are insured up to $500,000. This exceptional level of coverage is made available at no additional cost to members. Learn More
