Join in an ēCO Branch
ēCO Credit Union has six convenient branches to serve our members. Pick the most convenient branch, and come see us. Becoming a member at an ēCO branch will take 20-30 minutes. You can call ahead to set an appointment time or just show up.
You will need to bring the following items to open your account:
- $1—that’s right. All you need to do to become a member is deposit $1 in your share account, also known as a saving account. The $1 secures your membership and gives you a vote at ēCO.
- Driver’s License OR Other Form of Photo ID
- School ID
- Passport
- Military ID
- If the address on your form of ID is incorrect, we’ll also need a piece of mail or bill with your name and current address.
An ēCO Credit Union team member will walk you through the process of completing a membership application. A share account is your gateway to membership at ēCO, so you’ll start by setting it up. From there, you have access to apply for other products and services.
