At First Education Federal Credit Union, “education” is more than part of our name; it’s the entire “why” behind what we do.
Knowing the future starts today, we use our financial knowledge to educate and encourage our members to make smart, well-informed choices about their finances—and about their financial future, too!
From our welcoming location in north Cheyenne, we provide all the conveniences of a large financial institution—from checking accounts and loans, to mortgages and mobile banking—with a warmth and familiarity that feels like your favorite small town.
Over the years, our team has welcomed thousands of new members; celebrated dozens of employees for their decades of service; and proudly lived out our values of financial education and financial responsibility.
Become a member of First Education today, and let us show you what credit union ownership really means!
More than a member, you’re also part owner!
That’s right: Once you join, you become a part owner of the credit union!
First Education is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, so we treat our members like the owners they are. Unlike traditional banks, where profits go to private shareholders, at First Education we return profits to our members in the form of improved services, lower rates on loans, higher yields on deposits, and knowledgeable, friendly member service that’s second to none.
In all we do, we strive to save you money and improve your financial life.
