Employee Perks

More than likely, your parents’ credit union was tied to their specific workplace. Tucked away in a corner of the plant or office in their building, these small financial institutions offered employees access to affordable banking services that often could not be obtained elsewhere. They encouraged employees to help each other financially, which then created a sense of solidarity in the workplace. Workers with extra savings deposited their money, which could be borrowed by those who needed loans. Credit unions were one of the only work perks of that day!

Fast forward to 2022 when credit unions rarely serve only one employer in one location but the spirit of employees helping each other lives on. Like many credit unions, Memorial Credit Union has its roots serving the employees in the Memorial Hermann Healthcare system although now we are also open to those who live, work, worship or attend school in Harris County. That means you can offer Credit Union membership as an added employee benefit for your team – AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU!

We partner with hundreds of businesses in our field of membership to provide credit union membership for their employees. The business sizes range from small businesses with fewer than 10 employees to major employers like Memorial Hermann Healthcare.

Once a company or organization partners with MCU, all of its employees can join the credit union and take advantage of the products and services — at no cost to the business or the employee. In addition, your employees have access to benefits like financial education, resources for employees, and affordable financial solutions.

These companies and organizations come to us so their employees can have the benefit of credit union membership.

For employers, it’s a good move because there’s no cost but lots of perks!
