Membership is available to individuals that work within our field of membership. Foothill Credit Union serves over 280 Select Employer Groups in the San Gabriel Valley. If eligible, you can become a member by depositing a minimum of $5 in a Foothill Savings account, which represents one share of ownership.
Your deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) which is managed by the National Credit Union Administration, an independent agency of the United States Government. Your deposits are insured up to $250,000 per individual account and up to $250,000 for Individual Retirement Accounts. Note that not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member of a federally insured Credit Union.

The differences are significant. At Foothill Credit Union, we value YOU. Here's how you'll be treated better when you join us.
| Credit Unions | Banks |
| Credit Unions have members, not customers. Everyone with an account has a share of ownership in the Credit Union. Therefore, you are actually an owner of your Credit Union and not just another account number. | Banks have owners, usually a group of investors. Banks exist to make a profit for their owners. |
| Credit Unions are democracies. They are run by a volunteer board of directors elected from the membership. Every member has a vote in how their Credit Union is operated. | Banks are run by their investors, who have the sole voice in how things are done. |
| Credit Unions are not-for-profit organizations. After expenses are paid and reserves set aside, all money surpluses are returned to the members in the form of higher dividends and lower loan interest rates. | At banks, only investors see a share of the profits. |
| Credit Unions serve only certain groups of members, like those working for a particular employer or living in the same neighborhood. This specialization allows Credit Unions to focus on the needs of a certain special group of people. | Anyone may open an account at any bank. Customers sometimes become lost in the shuffle or "just another number." |
