Membership Eligibility & FAQs
Membership at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union is open to everyone who lives, works or attends school in these communities:
Massachusetts counties of Middlesex or Essex; Cities or towns of Fitchburg, Leominster, Harvard, Lunenburg or Lancaster; New Hampshire counties of Hillsborough or Rockingham.
In addition, we can make real estate mortgages on properties within a 100-mile radius of Lowell or anywhere in Massachusetts.
All you need to do is open a membership account with Jeanne D’Arc with a $5.00 deposit. This money stays in your membership account until it is closed.
Simply put, we’ve eliminated the “middle man.” Banks are owned by stockholders, and stockholders demand returns on their investments. Banks are profit-driven. Jeanne D’Arc, and other credit unions, are service-driven. We’re not here to generate a profit, but to provide a service to our members. Any “earnings” are turned back to you, the member/owner, in the form of better rates and lower fees.
We offer a unique membership program called Member Perks, which helps you save money on products and services every day.
