Our membership has expanded through the years to include additional groups as a reflection of our commitment to meeting the unique needs of the people we serve while contributing to positive social change and vital economic development.

The Credit Union Difference
While many of the products and services we offer are similar to banks, OAS FCU is different from a bank in several important ways:
We are a nonprofit organization: Earnings go back to members in the form of better rates and lower fees.
We are people helping people: We consistently work to support and educate our members and the communities we serve to make a difference in their everyday lives.
We invest to do good: The investments we select are based on having a positive economic, environmental, or social impact, not just a good return.
