How do I become a Member?
|
When you first apply for any product with Easy Street, we will collect $2 from you to pay for your Member share - Easy Street does not have shareholders as we are owned by our Members and are a mutual organisation.
Your $2 share gives you access to Easy Street's competitive online products and services and is fully refundable should you decide to close your membership at a later date. As a Member of Easy Street, you will also be eligible to vote at Community First's Annual General Meeting and have a say in how the credit union is run.

Easy Street is safe and secure
|
As Easy Street is a mutual organisation, you can rest assured your money is safe. We're regulated the same way as the banks, and all deposits up to $250,000 are 100% Australian Government Guaranteed. As a mutual, over 95% of our loans are funded from Member deposits, which means we don't invest in high-risk overseas markets to raise deposits. We'd argue that this makes us safer than banks.
