First Responders Bank Better at BFCU

BFCU has been helping Boston Firefighters for over 75 years and now offers membership to Massachusetts first responders. In addition to expanding our membership field to include Police, State Police, Suffolk County Sheriff's Department and Municipal EMTs of Massachusetts, we have partnered with several of their support organizations to help sponsor programs and events that benefit first responders both on and off the job.

What does a closed field of membership mean?

BFCU membership is exclusively for first responders and their families. Because we don't focus on the varying financial needs of the general public, we can focus on you to develop special products and services that meet your specific, ever-evolving needs.

Who can join?

BFCU is proud to offer membership to the following:

Members of the first responder community in Massachusetts (fire departments, police departments and municipally operated EMS departments)

Employees and retirees of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department

The family members of those persons listed above

Giving Back

BFCU Has Donated 100k, so far, to Support BFD and BPD Wellness Programs

BFCU is not only here for our first responders with great products and services, we are here to support initiatives that benefit the health and wellness of our members. We have made a commitment to an annual contribution of $25,000 to each program over a ten year period to keep them going and it is the least we can do!

Boston Fire

Our annual donation of $25,000 supports the Boston Fire Relief Fund program that addresses early detection, treatment and prevention of occupational cancer which has become a major threat to our firefighters.

Boston Police

Our annual donation of $25,000 supports the Boston Police wellness program that addresses job-related stress, suicide prevention and overall mental and cardiac health conditions of our police officers that have become rampant in their profession.
