Why Members Choose First Community Credit Union

Three distinct advantages that set member-owned banking apart from traditional financial institutions.

Lower Loan Rates Because You're an Owner, Not a Customer

At First Community Credit Union, members own the institution. There are no outside shareholders demanding profit extraction. Net income flows back into operations, reserves, and member benefits — including rates on personal loans, auto financing, and mortgages that routinely beat national bank averages by 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points.

A member financing a $30,000 auto loan over 60 months at First Community Credit Union's member rate saves hundreds of dollars compared to a typical bank rate. Multiply that across a mortgage, a personal line of credit, and a business loan, and the difference over a member's lifetime is substantial.

Higher Savings Dividends on Every Share Account

Because First Community Credit Union operates as a not-for-profit cooperative, surplus earnings are paid out as dividends on member share accounts. Primary share savings accounts earn dividends from day one. Money market accounts tier upward as balances grow. Share certificates lock in guaranteed dividend rates for 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, or 60-month terms.

The 12-month share certificate currently yields 4.85% APY — among the most competitive rates available through any federally insured institution. Compare that to the national bank average of 0.46% APY on standard savings accounts and the advantage of credit union membership becomes immediately clear.

Real members share their experience with credit union banking done differently.

Refinanced my mortgage through First Community Credit Union after my bank quoted me a rate a full point higher. The loan officer walked me through every step. Closing took three weeks — faster than any bank I've used.

Patricia M.Member since 2018 — Mortgage refinance

Our small business moved all accounts to First Community Credit Union two years ago. The SBA loan process was straightforward, the treasury team knows our name, and the merchant services fees are half what our bank charged.

James & Rosa T.Business members — Retail sector

I put most of my savings into 12-month share certificates at First Community Credit Union. The 4.85% APY is real — deposited, earned, and paid on schedule. The mobile app makes it simple to roll over and ladder.
