Why join CommonWealth One Formerly ACFCU? Let’s keep this simple: Lower fees than big banks. Better loan and deposit account rates. Friendlier service. Resources to improve your financial wellness. And policies designed with members – not profits – in mind.
Here you’ll see we offer everything you’d find at one of those bigger financial institutions, but with the deck stacked in your favor instead of theirs. To access our first-rate services, just open a savings account and deposit at least $5. After that, we’ll provide you with all the tools needed to manage your money, as well as personal service from people who truly care about your financial well-being.
If you have an immediate family member who is already a member, you may be eligible, too. This includes spouses, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, and household members maintaining a single economic unit.
You may qualify if you live, work, worship, go to school, or volunteer in eligible areas, including Washington D.C., Harrisonburg, VA, Warren County, VA, or Clarke County, VA.
If you work for one of these sponsor groups or select employer groups, you may already be eligible for membership. These is one of the most common ways people become a member.
