Joining University of Illinois Employees Credit Union

I currently have Bank of America and if I decide to attend UIUC in the fall then it is my understanding that it'll be hard to find BoA ATMs and offices. Are students who are not from Champaign County allowed to join the University of Illinois Employees Credit Union? Their website only says that those who work and live in the county can join.

Yes. See the membership eligibility list (https://www.uiecu.org/asp/products/product_4_2.asp).

Thank you. Sorry, I missed the membership eligibility list link on that page.

For their purposes, you are considered to live here if you are a student here.

Thanks, their wording was somewhat unclear.

It will be very hard to find an office; there are none.

One in the Union, One on south 1st in the Research Park, One on University Ave about 3/4 mile east of Beckman. There are ATMs at each location.

These 20+ other ATMs in town have no surcharge:

FYI, I believe there is a BoA ATM in the Union. There are also Chase ATMs on Green St. Also, I think there will be a PNC in the bookstore next year. Just sharing this information in case you wanted to use a bigger bank.
