Business Partners
Choose to partner with Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union and add the advantages of credit union membership to your employees’ benefits package, at no cost! A FMFCU business partnership means more than just a place for employees to deposit paychecks. Unlike other financial institutions, credit unions are built on the philosophy of “people helping people” – a cooperative spirit that means your employees can build a financial future.
Benefits of Partnering with FMFCU
Any bank can offer financial products and services, but few can match the value and commitment we bring to our partner organizations and their employees. A FMFCU membership is more than just another benefit, it’s something better. And, it’s all at no cost to your organization.

Better Rates and Fewer Fees
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by their members, not by shareholders. Profits are passed on to members in higher deposit rates, lower loan rates, and fewer fees.
-

Our employees welcome every opportunity to serve our members. Your employees receive the best in personal service and benefit from the guidance FMFCU provides.

Guidance, Help, and Counseling
Personal guidance and help sets us apart from other banks and credit unions. Our priority is to help our members through every financial life-stage. In addition to our well-qualified in-house staff, we have collected resources and formed partnerships that offer a wide range of member assistance.
-
Convenient Banking and Evening Hours
We understand the needs of service industry workers who work various shifts. FMFCU is proud to offer numerous branches, some open six days with extended evening hours. Free Online Banking and Bill Pay, mobile banking, telephone banking, and a Member Service Call Center are also available so members can manage their finances day or night.

Comprehensive Relocation Services
Moving can be challenging, but our professional mortgage advisors provide options to suit every budget, along with the ease and convenience of online applications. Your employees will work with the same mortgage loan officer from application to closing.

Connections with qualified local real estate brokers can assist your employees with information about residential locations in our serving area.
You can also expect above-average service when you work with the professional staff at FMFCU. In addition to your mortgage loan, you’ll have access to:
- Quantitative analysis of mortgage options to determine the lowest possible payments.
- On-site counseling with same day credit decisions.
- Educational seminars regarding relevant mortgage topics.
- The elimination of fees associated with the applications, commitment, processing, underwriting and document preparation for qualified members.
