To become a member of Berks Community Federal Credit Union, simply open a share (savings) account with as little as $5. Your $5 share (savings) account is your stake in the credit union. It's what makes your credit union different from other financial institutions. At Berks Community Federal Credit Union, you're not just an account number - you're a member and a part owner. Your $5 deposit immediately entitles you to take advantage of the wide array of products and services your credit union has to offer.

Also, upon opening a Berks Community Federal Credit Union share (savings) account, you are now required to pay a one-time membership fee of $3.00. To join the credit union, you must present two forms of valid I.D. containing your current street address. One form of I.D. must be a photo I.D., either a driver's license or a state issued I.D. card. The second form of I.D. may be vehicle registration, a utility bill, etc.

In Order to protect your funds, we began thumb printing new member accounts on October 1, 2003. This program helps us reduce check fraud.  Rest assured, the thumbprint remains on file and is not used by the Credit Union for any other purpose. The credit union also collects thumbprints from current members, opening new accounts.
