Eligibility

"Once a Member, Always a Member"

Membership in Firestone Federal Credit Union is extended to most employees of Bridgestone Americas Holding, Inc. who are not represented by a bargaining unit and who are on the Akron, Brook Park, or Nashville payrolls.

Members of your immediate family may join the credit union. Those eligible for membership: spouses, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, step relationships of the above, and those in the same household are eligible. As members, you and your family may share in all of the services and benefits provided by our credit union. You may save and borrow at rates that are competitive and generally better than those available elsewhere.

Select Employee Group (SEG) provides employees with access to credit union membership as a valuable workplace benefit. Employees of SEG-affiliated organizations are eligible to join the credit union.
