MEMBERSHIP
Become a Member of VAH Lyons Employees FCU.
Eligibility
Joining the VAH Lyons Employees FCU family is an exclusive opportunity. To become a member, you must either:

Once you're part of our community, your immediate family and household members automatically become eligible for membership, bringing them into a fold of benefits and financial solutions.
Understanding the Credit Union Difference
You may have heard that alligators and crocodiles look alike but are distinct creatures. Similarly, credit unions and banks offer similar services but have fundamental differences:
- For-profit vs. Not-for-profit: Banks operate with a profit motive. They charge higher fees and offer lower rates to pay their stakeholders and for their profits. On the other hand, credit unions are not-for-profit entities. We exist for our members. Profits we make are channeled back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates, and lower loan rates.
- Open vs. Selective Membership: Banks generally serve anyone, whereas credit unions serve a specific community. We are cooperatives of members with shared ties. Membership in a credit union requires fulfilling certain eligibility criteria.
Life-Long Commitment
With VAH Lyons Employees FCU, once you're a member, you always remain one. Even if life takes you to different places or you switch jobs, our commitment to serve you remains unbroken.
Benefits for Your Family
The privileges of being part of our credit union aren’t just for you. They extend to your immediate family members and everyone in your household.
Employer Benefits
Offering VAH Lyons Employees FCU membership as a part of your Employee Benefits is a win-win. Your team gets access to our exceptional services, and it won't cost your business anything. As an added perk, we conduct free financial seminars to guide your employees towards sound financial decisions. And just a hint: introducing such benefits might just get you that “World's Best Boss” mug on the next National Boss Appreciation Day.
