This credit union has one of the most unusual membership requirements that I've seen. To qualify to join you must have a letter of recommendation from an existing member. Refer to the credit union's About US page for more details about eligibility. Membership requires a $10 deposit and a $2.50 membership fee.
In my November 2009 post several readers left comments asking for help from existing members. Feel free to request recommendations in the comments. If you have been able to join, please consider providing a recommendation. If a few readers are able to join, perhaps they can spread the effort of providing recommendations so many readers will be able to join.
