Signing up to be a Select Employer Group (SEG) is easy!
Step 1 – Draft a letter
Draft a letter to the Board of Directors on your company’s/organization’s letterhead requesting to join/sponsor Fort Financial as your company’s/organization’s credit union. Your letter will serve as your application.
Step 2 – Address the envelope
Address the envelope to Fort Financial’s Business Development Officer.
Step 3 – Approval
Following adoption from our board of directors and the NCUA, which takes approximately 1 week, we are ready for the next step.
Step 4 – Announce it to your employees!
Our representative will take it from there, coordinating with your employee benefits personnel to implement our member benefits education program.
Step 5 – Final Phase
Once everything has been approved, we can start the member benefits education program. Our representative will schedule a sign up date to get your employees started.
Later, as you bring on new employees, we can periodically schedule sign ups to make sure they have an opportunity to take advantage of their company-provided benefit.
