- Field of membership (summary)
- Live, work, or worship in Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, El Dorado, Amador, Yuba, Yolo, Sutter, San Joaquin, Solano, Sierra, and Contra Costa counties. Also: federal employees throughout California; SAFEWAY employees in Northern California and Northern Nevada; immediate family or household of current members.
- Join steps (as published)
- Meet membership requirements including purchase/maintenance of the minimum membership share and CIP (government photo ID, SSN, ChexSystems review per account agreement). Online or branch.
- Fees (only if published)
- 2024 annual report: membership fee eliminated; par share reduced from $25 to $5. Treat $5 as the published share requirement; re-check current Truth-in-Savings / join flow before applying. Other fees: see First U.S. disclosures — not fully transcribed.

- Branches serving Sacramento
- Sacramento-area community CU since 1936. Use firstus.org locations — do not invent addresses.
- Caveats
- Share $ comes from annual report language rather than a single “join with $X” marketing line — still cite the report; confirm at apply. Occupational paths (federal employees / SAFEWAY) are alternates.
- Join difficulty rationale
- Easy — published multi-county community path including Sacramento County with a low published share.

Not a guarantee: Meeting the published field of membership does not mean you will be approved. Credit unions still run identity checks (CIP) and their own account rules.
