Credit Union Anyone Can Join - 4/2/2019
I posted this in that thread a while back but don't see it on the list. Here is the information again:
It looks like you can add American 1 Credit Union to this list. Their website states that "A cooperative is an organization of people united by a common bond. The common bond shared by all American 1 members is their association with our founding organization, Community 1 Cooperative. Our founders chartered American 1 as an associational credit union, meaning anyone who belongs to Community 1 Cooperative is eligible to join American 1."

It also states "Membership in Community 1 Cooperative is only $3 and is open to anyone."
