MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY
Membership in the UMassFive College Federal Credit
Union is extended to employees of the UMass system, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mt. Holyoke College, and Smith College, as well as persons who belong to certain other occupational
or associational groups within our defined field of membership. Family/household
members of eligible Credit Union members, retired employees, and UMass Amherst and Amherst College students are also eligible. To determine membership eligibility, look below to see if you belong
to one of our fields of membership:
Policy for Family/Household Membership
To be eligible to join the credit union as a "family member,"
you must be an immediate family or household member of a primary
member, or one that is eligible to join.
The definition of an Immediate Family Member is
limited to spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent or grandchild.
Step-children, step-parent, and step-siblings are
also included in this definition. Household Member is defined as
persons living in the same residence who maintain a single economic
unit. Included in this definition is any person who is a permanent
member of and participates in the maintenance of the household.
It also includes two people sharing an apartment, domestic partners,
or anyone who lives in the household and has demonstrated a degree
of permanency. Legal guardian relationships are considered part
of the household definition. However, a fraternity, sorority, or
condominium complex would not be considered a single economic unit.
Once an immediate family/household member joins, then that person's
immediate family/household members become eligible to join.
How To Join
Joining the credit union is easy! To become a member you must complete
a Membership Application and purchase at least one share by depositing
$5.00 into a share (savings) account. This is not a membership fee.
The deposit will earn dividends and can be withdrawn upon closing
your account. Upon opening this share account, you will be eligible
for all credit union services.
