Four Points Federal Credit Union

What Four Points Federal Credit Union does

Four Points Federal Credit Union is a federally chartered, member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Originally established in 1934 as one of the first 12 credit unions serving Farm Credit System employees under the name Farm Credit Administration Cooperative Credit Association, the institution converted to a federal charter in 2005 and adopted the Four Points name to reflect its ability to serve members across all 50 states.

The credit union operates through two physical locations in Omaha — a full-service West Center branch and a Business Solutions office on L Street — supplemented by an online banking platform and iOS/Android mobile applications built on the Malauzai framework. Card controls and transaction management are delivered through a Fiserv-powered mobile application; mortgage origination and servicing are handled in partnership with TruHome Solutions (loan ownership retained on the credit union's balance sheet, servicing transferred effective April 2025 with a TruHome Single Sign-On integration into FPFCU Online Banking scheduled for January 2026). The credit and debit card portfolio runs on First Data infrastructure, and member cash access extends nationwide through the CO-OP ATM network's 30,000+ surcharge-free locations.

The product set spans consumer and small-business banking: Share Savings, High-Yield Money Market, Prime Money Market, and Youth Savings accounts; term certificates (including a limited-time 15-month at 3.85% APY) and Stash Your Cash certificates; checking accounts (Premier Checking tier); auto loans for vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, boats, ATVs, and UTVs; personal loans and personal lines of credit; fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages; home equity loans and HELOCs; three Visa credit card tiers (Premier, Rewards via uChoose, Credit Builder); Traditional and Roth IRAs; and a business line that includes Community Checking for nonprofits, Business Checking, and Business Savings. Distribution relies on multi-channel acquisition: Select Employee Group partnerships with Ag Processing, Farm Credit, Farmer's National Co., Producer's Livestock, Nebraska Cooperatives, South Dakota Wheat Growers, and Cooperative Producers, complemented by open national membership through the American Consumer Council. Revenue is generated through net interest spread on loans and deposits, plus fee-based income (overdraft, $50 skip-a-pay, monthly service charges on certain accounts, and merchant/ATM interchange).
