Specialties
F&A Federal Credit Union is a full-service financial institution offering a wide variety of savings and loan products. F&A is not a bank, we are a not-for-profit cooperative. There are no stockholders or board members to pay, which allows us to put all profit back into the credit union. With these excess funds we offer higher dividends on savings programs, lower loan rates, and more personal service than a traditional bank. The customers are member-owners and have a voice in how we operate.
