With just $99.25 and seven charter members, Achieva Credit Union was founded in 1937 on Florida’s central western “sun” coast. At the time of this writing, it operates over 20 branches and serves over 140,000 members across several counties in Florida.
The credit union offers various personal depository banking products. Achieva provides high-yield interest bearing checking accounts, if a certain number of monthly transactions are made. In addition to its standard savings accounts, Achieva offers savings options specifically for children, teens, and young adults. Furthermore, its money market accounts have two dividend tiers, yielding better interest rates once a certain account balance threshold is crossed. The terms for the credit union’s Certificates of Deposit (CDs) range from 6 months to 5 years, and its Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are available either as savings accounts or CDs. Achieva also offers Traditional and Roth IRA products, as well as Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Achieva also provides business checking accounts, business savings accounts, and business money market accounts. Its corporate checking accounts vary based upon the number of monthly deposits, but all business accounts (including business savings accounts and business money market accounts) feature online banking, electronic statements, and mobile banking.
In addition to these depository banking products, Achieva Credit Union also offers its members various credit cards, mortgage products, and loan options.
Membership in Achieva is open to all US citizens/resident aliens through a donation to the Achieva Foundation ($10 minimum). Membership is also open to those who live or work in the Florida counties of Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Monroe, Pasco, Pinellas, or Sarasota. Immediate family members of current members also qualify for membership.

I Got Swindled. I have had an Achieva credit card for a while. I kept getting ads to open a new one with 0% APR for 15 months and free balance transfers. I had some credit cards with high APRs so I saw this as the opportunity to get rid of them and move the balances over, while not being penalized for doing so.
I was way wrong. Instead of giving me a new credit card, Achieva just extended my credit limit. Nothing else has visibly changed about my account. Same old APR, I got hit for the balance transfers, and now my payment is $1000 A MONTH. Not to mention I get reminders for all of my upcoming due dates by every other company except Achieva, and it takes almost a week for them to receive an online payment. In 2023. Ridiculous. When I asked them about setting an alert or reminder they are no help whatsoever, they just tell me it’s in my “online banking.” It’s pretty clear that it’s not easily accessed because they would rather dock you the late fee. What’s also ironic is that a few days after I paid I got an email with a link telling me that if I paid immediately via the link, I could pay a convenience fee and avoid the late fee. Meanwhile I had just paid and my money was floating in the ether somewhere. I have been assessed the late fee even though I paid before they acknowledged that I was late and sent over that “convenience” link for payment.
Achieva is, for lack of a better word, screwy and deceiving. I feel like I have been terribly misled and I will be transferring my balances to other cards and closing this account.
