Who Can Join Capitol Region?
Our "Employee Group" Sponsors Offer Membership Eligibility...
Individuals are eligible to join Capitol Region as primary members if they are employed by, retired from or affiliated with our Employee Group Sponsors (listed below), now comprising more than 100 businesses and organizations that have requested relationships with us. Sponsors pay no fees to offer Capitol Region FCU membership as an optional benefit for their employees, members, volunteers and/or students. Sponsors promote credit union membership eligibility as an employee benefit in their recruitment, retention and new employee programs and materials.
Interested individuals who are not affiliated with one of our current Employee Groups are encouraged to ask the appropriate manager at their employer or organization to contact Gerry Whitehead, Membership Development Manager, 860/513-4024 x209, or gwhitehead@capitolregionfcu.org, to learn about the uncomplicated, no-cost process of becoming a sponsor.
Capitol Region Has 100-plus Sponsors (see list below) grouped in three categories:
A. Municipalities & Municipal Affiliates
B. Chambers of Commerce
C. Businesses, Non-profits & Organizations.
New sponsors of all sizes are welcome. There are no sponsorship fees/dues. The sponsor application process is fast and simple, requiring no financial information.
Membership for Individuals (see Overview below). Sponsors' employees, volunteers and members can join Capitol Region simply by opening a $5 minimum share/savings account: this is an account...there are no membership dues or fees. After someone joins Capitol Region, his/her immediate family and permanent household residents also become eligible to join. Membership can last a lifetime. Members' deposits up to $250,000 are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. Government agency.
