Credit unions in Oklahoma

Credit union: There are 59 credit unions headquartered in Oklahoma. Those credit unions operate over 200 branch offices for their members. Those branches serve the 1.3 million Oklahoma residents who are members of these cooperatives. Close to 30% of the state enjoys the benefits of belonging to a credit union. The largest credit union in the state is Tinker Federal Credit Union, with almost 400,000 members. Tinker has been serving its members since 1994. There are many ways to join Tinker, including your employer, military service, a household member, or based on where you live/work/worship. 

Like anywhere else, to join a credit union in Oklahoma, there are membership guidelines you must meet. There are credit unions exclusively for teachers and corrections officers. There are also cooperatives just for employees of companies like Halliburton. There are a large number of community-based cooperatives that are open to residents of those communities. 

Car insurance: Car insurance in Oklahoma is considered expensive. Drivers in the state pay about 8% more in their premiums than the national average. Anytime your premium is higher than most others, you should be on the lookout for a better policy. Check with your credit union and see what they have to offer. 

It does not appear that Oklahoma credit unions underwrite their own car insurance policies for their members. This doesn’t mean they don’t have options, however. Multiple agencies have partnered with local and national companies to bring plans to their members at incredible rates. Some have recommendations of agents for members to go and speak to. Several credit unions work with Member Haven Insurance Agency. Member Haven is owned and operated by some of the credit unions in the state. Those cooperatives offer insurance products, including auto, to their members via Member Haven.
