About Us
UMassFive College Federal Credit Union (umassfive.coop) is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative headquartered in Hadley, Massachusetts. Founded in 1967 by University of Massachusetts employees, our membership now embraces the Five College Consortium and the larger Western Massachusetts community—including UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester . We exist to advance financial well-being across our region, delivering a warm, ethical, and deeply community-focused approach to banking: reinvesting our earnings into competitive rates, innovative services, and meaningful local impact
What We Offer

- Member-focused benefits like Co-op Advantage Checking (featuring ATM fee refunds, competitive dividends, and cashback through uChoose Rewards)
