Edfed membership checker m1
Quickly screen your likelihood to join EdFed (EdFed credit union). This tool helps families identify eligibility channels — workplace, community, association, or deposit-based routes — and suggests next steps.
How EdFed membership typically works
Community & association
Membership often available via specific community groups or partner associations. Check eligibility by ZIP or association name.
Employer & affinity
Many credit unions accept employees of partner companies or organizations. Employer sponsorship can grant immediate access.
One-time deposit
Some CUs require a small share deposit (e.g., $5–$25) to open a membership savings account — a simple route to join.
