A Select Employer Group (SEG) is an association, school, group or business that enjoys a unique relationship with Members 1st.
The most important benefit for a SEG and Members 1st is the ability to offer credit union membership to the SEG's employees, volunteers or members. SEGs are also entitled to free on-site membership signups at benefits fairs and employee events, free educational seminars and programs by our associates, special promotions and a partnership with the credit union. There's no cost or contract to become a SEG, but a prospective business does need to submit a Letter of Intent.
