Membership Eligibility

In order to join BFSFCU, you must meet the membership eligibility criteria* set forth under our federal charter. Eligible persons generally include those who work within the World Bank Group, International Monetary Fund, Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union, World Bank Children’s Center and Bretton Woods Recreation Center, as well as retirees of those organizations.

Membership also extends to FAMILY (any person related to the member, or to a person meeting the membership criteria, by blood, marriage or adoptive relationship). This includes spouse, children, brothers, sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, grandparents, grandchildren, stepparents, stepchildren, stepsiblings, etc.

Membership further extends to persons in the HOUSEHOLD of a member, even if not related.

It is not necessary for the sponsor-based member to join in order for his or her immediate family members to join the Credit Union.

Certain organizations, comprised of persons who qualify for membership individually, such as ski, bridge, investment or flying clubs, may open organizational accounts with BFSFCU. If you are unsure of your eligibility for membership, please contact us.
