Choosing where to keep your money isn’t something you do lightly—and honestly, you shouldn’t. The right financial partner can make your life easier, help your money grow faster, and bring your goals even closer.

If you’re in the Brookfield area and looking for a financial institution that actually puts people first, you’re in the right place. We’re Fox Communities Credit Union, and we’ve officially opened our first location right here in your neighborhood. Your northern neighbors have known and trusted us for more than 88 years. Now, we’re thrilled to get to serve Brookfield and Waukesha County. 

Who Is Fox Communities Credit Union?

We’ve been around since 1937, but don’t worry—we’re not old fashioned. Fox started as a credit union for mill workers in Combined Locks and has grown to serve nearly 140,000 members across Wisconsin (and beyond). Through all that growth, one thing has never changed: our people-first values.

Because we’re a credit union and not a bank, everything works a little differently here.

When you join Fox:

  • You’re not a customer—you’re a member.
  • You’re not supporting shareholders—you’re part owner of the place.
  • Your best interest actually is our best interest.

For decades, people all across Wisconsin trusted us with their money, their goals and their biggest life moments. And now, we’re here for you, too.

Why Choose Fox?

When you become a member of Fox, you don’t just open an account. You join a community that genuinely cares about your financial well being—it’s what we call the Fox Difference. Here’s what that looks like:

Member-first philosophy
Every decision we make is for the benefit of our members, not stockholders. Our sole purpose is to best serve our members.  

Better rates and fewer fees
As a not for profit cooperative, our earnings go back to you, our members. That means lower loan rates, better savings rates, and more money staying where it belongs—in your pocket.Brookfield Lifestyle

Personal guidance, not pressure
Our team members listen before they recommend anything. You’ll get honest guidance and tools that make sense for your situation, all from friendly folks who are proud to call the Milwaukee area home.

Community-focused values
We don’t just serve communities—we invest in them. In 2025 alone, Fox contributed over $1 million to local organizations and programs, and our team volunteered nearly 10,000 hours across Wisconsin.

Banking that fits your life
Enjoy digital features that make managing your money easy, like mobile deposit, card controls and a convenient mobile app. Plus, you can always visit us in person when you want local support from real people who genuinely want to help.

How Do I Make the Switch From My Bank? (Spoiler: It’s Easier Than You Think)

Switching financial institutions sounds stressful, but we promise we’ll make it a smooth transition. 
Here’s how it usually goes:

1. Open your Fox account.
You can start online or visit us in person. Either way, it only takes a few minutes. Choose from rewarding checking accounts, high-earning savings options, low-rate credit cards and so much more. 

2. Move your direct deposit.
The more you bank with us, the more you’re rewarded so we suggest having your direct deposits come right to your new accounts. Most employers handle this with a simple form.Brookfield Lifestyle

3. Switch your automatic payments.
We’ll help you identify them and get everything transferred to your new Fox cards and accounts. 

4. Close your old account (when everything’s switched).
And just like that, you’re officially a Fox member.

Of course, if you want help at any point, our team members in Brookfield are ready when you are.
