What does partnership footnote 1 mean?

Partner Benefits

  • Affordable loan options
  • Financial education
  • Special offers
  • Free account access
  • A dedicated account representative

Refer-a-Teen and get rewarded!

How is CEFCU different?

At CEFCU, you’re not a customer, you’re a member/owner. We provide personal service to you and your employees. Unlike banks, CEFCU doesn’t have stockholders — we’re owned by members — so our earnings are returned to members through lower loan rates, fewer fees, and more benefits.

Plus, when business results permit, CEFCU returns excess capital to our member/owners. Since 2000, CEFCU has returned over $500 million to members in the form of an Extraordinary Dividend. footnote 2

I have a friend who works for a company with CEFCU. How do I join?
Your friend’s company has partnered with CEFCU, so your friend qualifies for membership. Before you can join, you need to work for a partner company or meet membership requirements.

I want to buy a home, but I don’t know where to start.

Do your seminars cost anything?

I don’t live close to a CEFCU, so how can I bank with you?
First, we’ll sign you up for Direct Deposit, and you can designate where your paycheck goes — Checking, Savings, Loans. CEFCU also has great eServices, like Online Banking and Mobile Banking. Electronic options are secure and fast.

1. Partner companies are independent companies that have entered into an agreement with CEFCU to have CEFCU provide credit union membership as an employee benefit.

2. The Extraordinary Dividend is not guaranteed, and can only be authorized by CEFCU's volunteer Board of Directors when business results allow.
