Membership in Capitol Region FCU;
It's a Valuable Benefit...and It's Free!
Employer Groups as "Sponsors"
Membership in Capitol Region FCU is available to thousands of people because employers or other organizations have submitted a brief, non-financial request to become one of our "Employer Group" sponsors. These organizations offer Capitol Region FCU membership eligibility as an optional benefit to their employees/members.
Ranging from one person to thousands, a wide variety of Connecticut businesses, municipalities, non-profits and chambers of commerce have become Employer Groups: click here for our current list. There is no cost, and new Employer Groups are always welcome.
No application or membership fees or dues are paid by Employer Groups. We encourage any business or organization to learn how easy it is to become a Capitol Region FCU affiliate or sponsor. Please contact Gerry Whitehead, Membership Development and Marketing Manager at 860-513-4024 x209, or gwhitehead@capitolregionfcu.org.
Employer Groups offer an important financial benefit: Their employees/members are eligible to join Capitol Region FCU simply by opening a $5 savings/share account: They then can enjoy Capitol Region's comprehensive selection of banking products...free checking, low-cost loans, online banking and billpay, a variety of deposit products, many convenience services and a responsive, professional staff.
Capitol Region supports Employer Groups by offering to educate and inform their employees/members, by providing posters, flyers, newsletters and payroll enclosures, and by conducting on-site enrollment meetings, if requested. We emphasize in our literature that Employer Groups are responsible for providing eligibility to join the credit union as an optional benefit for their employees/members.
Personal Membership
Eligibility: If you work for or are a member of one of our Employer Groups

Capitol Region FCU membership is different from most other employee or member benefits because we are a not-for-profit and member-owned financial institution. Any profits are returned to members in the form of advantageous loan rates and dividends. And each member gets one vote, regardless of the size or nature of his his/her account. Importantly, our board of directors are all unpaid volunteers elected from our membership.
