Benefits
As Member-owned, not-for-profit institutions, credit unions exist solely to serve you – the valued Members. While we offer all the services you'd expect from a bank, such as deposits, loans, and a variety of financial products, what sets us apart is our cooperative structure and commitment to your financial success.​
​
By choosing to bank with us, you're not only gaining access to essential financial services but also becoming part of a supportive community dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Experience the difference of banking with Bethlehem 1st FCU – where your financial dreams are our mission.
Member-Owned
YOU ARE MORE THAN A MEMBER, YOU ARE PART OWNER. Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services.
​
YOUR VOTE COUNTS. A volunteer board of directors is elected by members to manage a credit union.
Not-For-Profit
Credit unions operate to promote the well-being of their members. Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates, and lower loan rates.
Membership
​Once you become a Credit Union member, you can invite your family members to join. Your entire family including your spouse, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, stepchildren, stepparents, stepsibilings, and adopted children can all become Bethlehem 1st FCU members. You’re welcome to remain a credit union member for life, regardless of whether you change jobs, move, or retire.
