Am I eligible to join?
Credit Unions are member-owned cooperatives. Unlike a for-profit bank, in which profits go back to a select group of stockholders, credit unions are organized to return all the profits to member-owners in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and lower fees. As member of Broward HealthCare Federal Credit Union (BHCFCU), you are actually an owner, you have a voice in everything we do.
