FAIRWINDS was founded in 1949 on the simple idea of people helping people. That idea still guides everything we do today. We exist for one reason: to help others take control of their money and move toward financial freedom. That means fewer payments, less stress, and more confidence about the future. It’s not the message you usually hear from a financial institution, but we’re not afraid to be different. At FAIRWINDS, members are part-owners, not customers. That means we don't answer to stockholders, and we don't chase profits. Every dollar we earn is reinvested to help members save more, eliminate debt, build wealth, and live generously. We know financial freedom doesn't happen by accident. That’s why we combine personal guidance with products designed to support real, intentional financial progress, not unnecessary borrowing. That includes:
Anyone in the United States is eligible to become a FAIRWINDS member. Wherever you are, whatever your journey — if you’re committed to being financially free, you’re welcome to join us! Federally insured by the NCUA. |

I was skeptical at first dealing with a credit union no where near me or that I could just walk into, but I am sure glad I did! There high yield interest saving accounts are like none other I have had any experience, (way better then the banks) and the customer support is real people that answer the phone and are very knowledgeable and always helpful.

You Need to Use This Credit Union
The support, the people, the options, the feeling like you're not just a number, and they're not just there to get you into more debt, but help you win in life.
Only thing that would be awesome to have in addition is dark mode in the mobile app!

Numerous amount amounts of fraud
Two of my family members and myself have been victims of fraud, through our savings and checking accounts. Even my business Fairwinds account was affected. I have not experienced this extent of fraud with any other banking institution or credit cards.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. A manager has been in contact with you to ensure that you and your family have the support you need. Security concerns across multiple accounts can be incredibly stressful, and we don't take that lightly. We thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and assure you that we are always here to help.

Love Fairwinds
They respond to messages quickly. There aren't long waits for phone support. The tellers are kind. I've been a member since 2011 and have enjoyed the consistently good customer service. I also love the app. It is functional and gives me the ability to easily bank from my phone.

For customer service that can’t be beat!
For customer service, FAIRWINDS knocks any bank out of the ballpark that I’ve ever dealt with!
I’m a Dave Ramsey fan and I tried the Dave Ramsey package and couldn’t recommend it more!
I was so tired of trying to reach my local bank if I had a question about anything and getting stuck in some AI loop from hell that isn’t banking and that isn’t customer service.
Real people who really help!!
Grow your money with FAIRWINDS!
