How to Become an MMCCU Member (and Why!)
It’s been a while since we covered the basics of membership on the blog! If you’re wondering about becoming a credit union member, we’d love to have you at MMCCU. MMCCU is the largest health care credit union in Wisconsin. At MMCCU, Our sole purpose as a financial cooperative is to provide better service, better rates and lower fees to our members. (Compare that to a bank, here.)
A member is simply someone that has deposited money in a credit union. Anyone who does this is then an owner-member. This makes you both a customer and an owner of the credit union.
Our membership is healthcare workers and their families, so we understand this demographic and can serve them best. MMCCU proudly serves the health care community (and their families) throughout Wisconsin. If you work in a medical-related field, you qualify for membership*.
This means that not just doctors and nurses can be members, but also:
- – chiropractors
- – veterinarians
- – certified veterinary technicians
- – dentists
- – pharmacy workers
- – medical supply company workers
- – assisted living facility employees
- – EMT’s
- – and many more…*
If you are a member of MMCCU, your immediate family members are also eligible for membership even if they do not work in a medical-related field.

Once a member, you’re a member for life! Even if you transfer careers, you and your immediate family can remain members.
A credit union is:
- Credit unions are focused on people, not profits. Credit unions operate by a “people helping people” philosophy that is hard to find at other financial institutions.
- Financial education is available to all members. Credit unions assist members in becoming better-educated consumers of financial services.
- As not-for-profit institutions, credit unions offer better rates on credit cards—up to two percentage points lower than the average bank card rate.
- Credit unions are available in places where banks typically aren’t, such as community development neighborhoods.
- As a member of a credit union, no matter how much money you have on deposit, you have an equal voice in how your credit union is run.
- Superior service, convenience, and technology. Credit union members receive the service convenience of today’s technology through online and mobile banking.
- Use the credit union services you need. Many credit unions provide online loan applications and remote deposit capture for member’s convenience. Even if you don’t need the credit union’s sophisticated website or 24-hour loan services, you can use the credit union services you need most.
- Many credit unions offer no-surcharge ATMs that any credit union member can use. National shared ATM networks mean you can find ATMs where you live and work.
- Your credit union can put you in business with a small business loan. And some credit unions have established a relationship with the Small Business Administration to expedite loans to credit-worthy small businesses.
Credit unions differ from banks in many ways, but one of the main differences is membership. Learn more about MMCCU membership here.
