Patriot is different than a bank, whether it is a local one or mega bank. In fact, we like to think we do it better than a bank. At Patriot Federal Credit Union, you’re more than an account number or a customer – you’re an owner! We have no stockholders to pay, resulting in higher dividend rates on deposit accounts, minimal fees, and lower interest rates on loans to the members (owners).

Patriot and its employees support community initiatives and events throughout our markets, and all of our decisions are made locally.

We are committed to serving all your financial needs and developing a solid, long-term relationship that will help you through every phase of your life.

Patriot has some of the most advanced and latest technology available in the industry. All of our vendors and products that we implement go through an intense due diligence process that adheres to government regulations.

We are also audited and tested by third parties to ensure our security measures meet the federal requirements and recommendations. Also, member deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) up to $250,000. Your information/funds are safe and secure with Patriot Federal Credit Union.

In order to properly identify you, we do require your Social Security number/TIN and a valid government-issued photo ID with the current address. If your photo ID does not have a current address, we will need a monthly bill or lease with the current address.

If you’re not a member, you will need to first establish membership by opening a Share Savings Account with as little as $5.00. Your $5.00 deposit immediately entitles you to take advantage of the wide array of products and services at Patriot. Our various other shares have varied minimum amounts to open depending on the type of share.

Once you have established your eligibility for membership, you can apply online or stop into your local branch office to open an account with us. The process is convenient and easy.

Many of the share accounts we offer do not have a monthly maintenance fee associated with them. If you open an account with a monthly maintenance fee, this will be disclosed at account opening.

The most common way to fund a new account is to make a cash deposit, write a check, or transfer money from an existing Patriot account when in person. If opening the account online, you can mail a check to fund the account or use a debit or credit card.
