Become a Member
If you are interested in becoming a BAFCU member, you must meet eligibility requirements. If you are employed by one of our member groups or associations, retired from, or an immediate family member of a current account holder, you are immediately eligible to join.
​
If you are not associated with a member group, you can also become eligible by joining the New Jersey Credit Union Foundation. Foundation membership is free, but you must sign up while in our office to validate eligibility.
​
Once you become a member of the credit union, you can remain a member for life, even if you change jobs, retire, or move out of the area.
​
If you would like to open an account, please visit our office and speak with a Member Service Representative.
If you have additional questions about necessary documentation for account opening, please call 856-696-2525.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT:
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that on personal accounts identifies each person who opens an account. In addition, on legal entity accounts, we will require identification on beneficial owners and controlling person.
​
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
We believe we’re better together at Bay Atlantic FCU.
That’s why you can earn rewards when someone you refer opens a new account,
gets a new loan, or signs their business up as a select employee group.
Whether it’s a family member, friend, or co-worker-
we hope you’ll share the joy of membership!
