Serving Lafayette Parish with Trusted Banking Solutions

We Serve Lafayette, Scott, Carencro, Broussard, Youngsville, and Surrounding Communities with Reliable Financial Solutions and Personal Service You Can Count on

Lafayette Parish is the heart of Acadiana, known for its strong sense of community, local pride, and steady economic growth. It’s a place that values hard work and connection, where neighbors look out for one another and local businesses thrive on that same spirit. At First Pioneers FCU, we share those values. We’re proud to serve the people who make Lafayette what it is by offering personal banking services designed to help our members reach their goals and build lasting financial stability.

Founded in 1949, First Pioneers FCU was built on a new idea for Lafayette: a financial institution created to serve the people who own it. As a not-for-profit credit union, we’ve always been dedicated to putting our members first and helping them build financial strength and stability.

From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to stand by our members through every step of their financial journey. Today, that mission continues as we proudly serve Lafayette, Scott, Carencro, Broussard, Youngsville, and surrounding communities in Lafayette Parish with personal banking solutions designed to help people grow, save, and thrive right where they live.

When you join First Pioneers, you’re not just a member, you’re also an owner. That gives you a voice in how we operate and access to a full lineup of financial products and services, including secure checking and savings accounts, youth accounts, low-rate credit cards with no fees, and flexible loan options. Our team is always ready to help whenever you need it.
