Membership
The advantages you enjoy when you handle your financial affairs through a credit union are many.
A credit union is a cooperative institution that is owned and operated by its members. Because your credit union is a not-for-profit organization, members enjoy lower rates on loans, higher rates on savings. In addition, a host of member personal, convenience services are offered. Your credit union is local, community oriented, providing friendly, helpful, efficient assistance. Our philosophy is “people helping people.”
At Fall River Municipal Credit Union, membership is open to individuals who reside, work, attend school or have a place of business the counties of Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable and Dukes Counties in Massachusetts and Kent, Providence, Bristol, and Newport Counties in Rhode Island.
