Essential Federal Credit Union provides a variety of financial services including mortgage loans, personal loans, auto loans, and credit cards at its Siegen Lane location in Plaquemine.
Richard Williams is the key principal of Essential Federal Credit Union, leading the institution in delivering comprehensive financial services.
A minimum balance of $5 is required to maintain membership at Essential Credit Union. This enables access to features like payroll deduction, direct deposit, automatic transfers, and a free ATM card.
Credit unions typically offer lower interest rates on loans, reduced mortgage closing costs, and fewer fees, making them a cost-effective choice for personalized financial services.
The choice depends on your needs.
If higher deposit rates and personalized service are priorities and you don't need national branch access, a credit union might be preferable.
If you value extensive branch access and in-person services, a bank might be better, despite potentially lower interest rates.
At Essential Credit Union, we understand how important it is to have easy access to your cash. That's why we offer our members surcharge-free ATM withdrawals across the country.
Thanks to our partnerships with networks like Dolphin Network, CO-OP Shared Branching, and CUliance, finding a fee-free ATM is a breeze, no matter where your travels take you.
Cool new look, same great service!
