It was originally volunteer run and served USDA employees in Mississippi, growing as demand among those employees increased. In 1990 it began expanding the membership groups it serves, merging with the Mississippi Educational Credit Union, and six other credit unions have merged since. Membership is open to family members of existing members, members of the Friends of Flowood Library, members of the Mississippi State University Association, and employees and retirees of various companies and groups. The credit union operates a mobile banking app and online banking, and its contact line is staffed Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:45pm. Members planning international travel can notify the credit union to lift the restriction placed on transactions outside the United States.
