Not everyone can join any credit union they please. The federal government restricts members to defined segments of the population, such as:- Location (live, work, worship, or attend school in a well-defined geographic area)
- Job (employer or occupational group like teachers, doctors, etc.)
- Members of specific non-profit groups
