What it means to be a member, not a customer

When you open a Prime Share Savings account, you become a member-owner of Heartland Credit Union, not just an account holder. That's what makes a credit union different from a bank, and it's the one account that unlocks everything else Heartland offers.

Frequently asked questions

No, you can apply for a loan without one. But if your loan is approved, you'll need to open a Prime Share Savings account before we can fund it, since it's your membership account and every Heartland loan requires membership.
