Business Checking in Kokomo, IN
Running a business in Kokomo means managing deposits, payroll, vendor payments, and a long list of other tasks before lunch. Your Checking Account should make that list shorter. Encompass Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative with deep Central Indiana roots, and we welcome businesses and organizations across Howard, Tipton, and Clinton County.
Whether you own a storefront on the south side of Kokomo, lead a contracting crew, or run a nonprofit, our Reed Road team can talk through Business Checking with you in person. This page explains who can join, which services support daily business banking, and how to get started with Encompass CU.
Business Checking in Kokomo, IN for Howard County Owners
Encompass CU has served Central Indiana since 1953. We started as Steel Parts FCU, a credit union for Steel Parts employees in Tipton County. We grew through our 2001 merger with Nickel Plate Industrial Credit Union into a three-county community credit union with four branch locations. For Kokomo business owners, our Reed Road Branch at 4020 South Reed Road is the closest place to sit down with a member of our team.
Members own a credit union, so our decisions focus on the people and businesses we serve rather than outside shareholders. When you have a question about your business account, you can call (800) 675-8852 or stop by the branch.
We do not list fees or rates on this page because they can change. Review current checking fees and rates on our rates and fees page, and ask your branch representative about anything specific to a business account.
Who Can Join for Business Checking in Howard County?
Encompass Credit Union membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Tipton, Clinton, or Howard County, Indiana.

For a Kokomo business owner, that opens several paths:
Your business or organization can join as a member.
Your employees can join through your eligible business.
You can also join personally if you live or work in Tipton, Clinton, or Howard County.

Why Kokomo Business Owners Choose a Local Credit Union for Business Checking
Large regional banks serve Central Indiana, but a local credit union offers a different relationship.

Our tagline, "Community Minded… Just Like You," describes how we approach every member, including the business owners who keep Howard County working.
