The business owner does not need to be a member in order for the business to open an account at Keesler Federal; however, each of the business owners need to be within our field of membership. We believe that most business owners will open their personal accounts at the credit union once they see the value of the products and the services that we offer.

Business services may be extended to members who are within our field of membership and in any area where we have a branch location.

We do not offer business services in the U.K.

You can make business deposits via mail, by visiting any of the Keesler Federal’s branch locations, or through ACH. Cash, cashier’s checks and valid negotiable checks will be credited immediately to the account.
