We extend eligibility to all current members' immediate family members. This includes: grandparents, parents, spouses, children (including foster and adopted), grandchildren and siblings. Un-remarried spouses of persons who died while employed by any of our eligible organizations are also eligible for membership.

This means that once you become a member, your family members automatically become eligible to join Lafayette FCU!

Once a Member, Always a Member Policy

Just because you leave your employer or place of residence doesn't mean you have to leave your credit union. No matter how you are eligible for membership, you may retain membership in the credit union — even if you leave our field of membership-as long you maintain a minimum balance of $50 in your Share Savings account.
