Become a Member

You’ll get a lifetime of benefits with us.

You can become a member of Connects FCU simply by being a part of our community. If you live, work, worship, attend school, volunteer or frequently do business in the Greater Richmond Community, you’ve got to get connected!

The Greater Richmond Community is:

  • City of Richmond
  • Chesterfield County
  • Hanover County
  • Henrico County

It’s easy to join Connects, just fill out the membership application to open a share account with a minimum initial deposit of $5.00. We will need to verify identity by viewing a current driver’s license or other state issued ID and we need to verify social security numbers by viewing a social security card, voter’s registration or current employee ID. We’ll open an account for you and you’ll be entitled to all benefits and privileges of Connects FCU membership.

Even if you change employment or move away from the Richmond area, your membership is still welcomed and valued.

Open Your Account

For a membership card or assistance filling out the card, please call our member service department, visit one of our convenient full service branches, or download the Membership Form in PDF format. You’ll need the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to launch the file. Or you may call us at (800) 833-5200 for more information.

We offer extremely competitive rates.

Connects Federal Credit Union provides all the services of a bank – savings accounts, loans, lines of credit, payroll deductions, direct deposits, retirement accounts, ATM/VISA check cards, even online banking – plus benefits a bank simply cannot offer.

Because Connects is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by shareholder members, we’re able to offer extremely competitive rates on savings accounts and loans, and return dividends to our members.

Perhaps the most important benefit is that every Connects FCU member has a voice in how the credit union is run…members determine how their money is managed.
