FCCU Supports Our Communities!

First Community Credit Union is a Bauer Financial 5 Star Rated Credit Union.
Earning a 5-Star rating denotes that First Community Credit Union is one of the strongest credit unions in the nation. Achieving this designation for 39 consecutive quarters, like First Community Credit Union has, is an even higher honor. "There's an old adage that says no press is bad press, but if you've seen the banking news over the past year or two, you know this isn't always true," notes Karen L. Dorway, president of BAUERFINANCIAL. "That's why it's so important today to share some good news, and First Community Credit Union makes it easy. First Community Credit Union is a model credit union. You should be proud to call it Your Credit Union."

First Community Now Offers Youth Accounts!
First Community has a series of three youth accounts. These different accounts that are based upon the age of the children. The tiers are 0-7, 8-16, and 17-21. Each tier has features that are appropriate for the age of each child. All of the accounts offer an interest rate of 1% above the regular share rate. Younger children receive a piggy bank and rewards for each deposit that they make. As they progress through the tiers they will graduate to an account with free checking, free check cards, loan discounts and educational sessions about budgeting and college planning. There is lots of fun and prizes along the way. For more information please contact the credit union and we will be happy to get you started.
