Guide to State-Chartered Credit Unions in Florida
Find a Florida state credit union for your banking needs
By Rose Bricker, Freelance Writer
Choosing to bank at state chartered credit unions in Florida can be as easy as finding one in the county where you live or work. Membership usually just requires a modest deposit into a share account or may only require you to fill out a membership application.
Consider the following when looking for state-chartered credit unions in Florida:
1. Find local Florida state credit unions that cater to your county.
2. Learn how Florida state chartered credit unions can save you money.
3. Locate chartered credit unions in Florida specifically geared to your occupation.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Search for FL state credit unions in your community
One of the best forms of advertising is word of mouth. Listen to established credit union members in your county when you're looking to join a FL state chartered credit union. Learn what a community-based credit union can do for you.
I recommend: If you currently work or live in Pinellas, Hernando or Pasco counties, then Achieva Credit Union can help you with checking and savings accounts, as well as consumer, home equity and first mortgage loans, investment opportunities with CDs and Money Market accounts and IRAs. They have several branches to choose from including one that might be right in your community. CAMPUS USA Credit Union offers membership to anyone living, working or attending school in Clay, Columbia, Alachua, Lake, Sumter and Marion counties. Not only do they have branches in your community, but they also allow members to apply for loans, mortgages, credit cards, lines of credit and business loans online for added convenience.
Join Florida chartered credit unions to save money
If you or any family members meet the eligibility requirements, join a state chartered Florida credit union to save money and meet your specific financial needs. Since many only require that you reside or work in a specific county, then most anyone can find a credit union that they qualify to join.
I recommend: If you reside, work or worship in Fern Park, Maitland or Casselberry, then you can join Gulf States Credit Union by simply completing a Share Account agreement and depositing as little as $5 in your account. This makes you eligible for all its financial services offered at competitive rates. Sarasota Coastal Credit Union is open to residents or those who work in Manatee, Charlotte or Sarasota counties, and immediate family members of those living in these counties. They offer personal and business financial opportunities to save members money where it matters most.
Select a Florida state credit union specifically for teachers or state workers
Some FL state chartered credit unions specifically gear membership to teachers and other employees in the school systems, but you can also qualify as a relative of someone within these schools. You may also find Florida state chartered financial institutions for state and federal employees. See if you meet the requirements to take advantage of the many financial benefits of credit union membership
I recommend: Florida State University Credit Union offers membership to students, faculty and staff of the university and graduates who reside or work in Franklin, Gadsden, Bay, Liberty, Leon, Jefferson and Wakulla counties. They offer free Internet banking and competitive pricing on many financial services. Though state-chartered, the Florida Department of Transportation Credit Union limits its membership to employees of the Florida Department of Transportation in the Tallahassee and DOT District 2 areas including city, state and county employees. This full service credit union offers checking, savings and a variety of loans all available electronically.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • State sponsored credit unions in Florida use state funds rather than federal funds, although they are federally insured.
