What is a Credit Union?

Credit unions are financial institutions formed by an organized group of people with a common bond. Members of credit unions pool their assets to provide loans and other financial services to each other.

Credit unions differ from other banks in several ways:

Credit Unions

Not-for-profit cooperatives
Owned by members
Operated by mostly volunteer boards

Other Financial Institutions

Owned by outside stockholders
Owned by outside stockholders
Controlled by paid boards

These factors allow credit unions to pay dividends to their members (not shareholders) and offer them lower loan Rates, higher savings Rates and fewer service fees. Become a member and enjoy the credit union advantage!
