Welcome to Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union. Founded in 1936, Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union provides a wide range of financial products with a personal touch and genuine concern for our members that sets us apart from the other financial institutions. Credit unions were formed with one concept in mind, “people helping people.” This simple idea created an enormous movement by groups of individuals sharing a common bond to put member savings together, keep overhead costs to a minimum, and make wise investments, then return profits to the members.

This idea continues today at Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union. As a not-for-profit financial institution, created to serve the financial needs of the employees of Brown-Forman Corporation, credit union earnings are returned to members in the form of higher dividends on savings, lower interest rates on loans, and low cost financial services. Membership in Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union not only provides you with quality financial services but also entitles you to have a voice in your credit union through a member-elected board of directors who establish credit union policies. These policies are then carried out by the management and staff of Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union.

Every year your credit union is examined by the State of Kentucky, Office of Financial Institutions, Credit Union Division, to ensure safety and soundness. The Supervisory Committee, volunteers from among the membership who are appointed by the board of directors, conducts periodic exams of internal procedures including requesting an annual audit of the financial statements by the Internal Audit Department of Brown-Forman Corporation.

Once a member - always a member is Brown-Forman Employees Credit Union’s policy. If you move away, change your place of employment or retire, your membership lasts a lifetime by simply maintaining your share account. As an employee or retiree of Brown-Forman Corporation, your immediate family members are also eligible for membership. Click here to see a description of who is eligible for membership.
