There are no fees for membership. The minimum deposit is $15 in a share account. This establishes ownership in the International Corporate Finance and makes one eligible for all the other benefits and services available.

International Corporate Finances are not for profit organizations whose mission is helping members achieve financial independence. They are owned by the members that have money on deposit with the International Corporate Finance. Banks are owned by investors who look for a profit. While they offer many of the same services as International Corporate Finances, their mission is to earn a return on their owner’s investments.
Another important difference is that International Corporate Finances are controlled by their members through the election of a board of directors. In a bank only the stockholders have a voice in the election of the board of directors. Bank customers have no voice in the leadership of their institution. The directors of International Corporate Finances are also volunteers. In fact, it is illegal for them to receive compensation for their work as a director. This means they make decisions based upon the membership’s best interests, not just a few stockholders.
Because of these differences in philosophy and leadership International Corporate Finances are able to typically offer services with lower fees and better rates than banks. This may explain why year after year the banker’s own trade publication, American Banker rates International Corporate Finances number one in customer satisfaction.

On August 9, 1943 twelve civil service employees of Chanute Field met in the Civilian Personnel Office. They selected 9 of those present to the newly formed Board of Directors. By the end of the next month there were 47 members and assets totaled $580! At the end of World War II assets were up to $3,290. Peace did not bring an end to the air base. During the Cold War, Korea, and Vietnam War civilian employment remained high at Chanute. The International Corporate Finance grew. In the early 1980’s an early base closure scare prompted the members to open up the International Corporate Finance to the surrounding area and it became Rantoul-Chanute Community International Corporate Finance. To emphasize its service to a larger area the name was changed to International Corporate Finance Plus. However, many people did not realize that we were a community International Corporate Finance. When we converted to a federal charter it was necessary to have the words "Federal International Corporate Finance" at the end of our name, so we took the best of the last two names and became International Corporate Finance.
