Become a Member<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All of HOPE’s products and services are available to individuals and businesses located in the Deep South: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

People and organizations located outside HOPE’s primary service area can support our work, earn a return on their money, enjoy federal insurance, and<\/strong> support our mission by opening a savings, share certificate, or money market account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Simple Ways to Join<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use our quick and easy online application service<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to become a member. Existing members can also use it to open a new account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Visit a HOPE branch<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to complete the account opening process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Download and complete a membership application form<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (prints best on legal size paper).

Yes, it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But there is something special that happens when you start your relationship with HOPE: you become a member-owner. HOPE is a cooperative where every member has an equal voice in the credit union, and that means you get a relationship with a financial institution that puts your needs first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOPE is a community development credit union, and membership is open to individuals and organizations who join Hope Enterprise Corporation<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.  You can become a member of both organizations by completing the membership application.  As a member, you can take advantage of our full range of products and services, from checking<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and savings accounts<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to personal<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, mortgage<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or business loans<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The membership fee is only $10 ($5 goes to Hope Enterprise Corporation<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and is tax deductible). Your membership is good for as long as you have your HOPE account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
