Why Join the Credit Union

Because we’re more than just a bank, our Team is committed to provide you with a memorable banking experience, whether in person, online or over the telephone, each and every time. It’s what we do, along with delivering amazingly low rates on loans and awesome products! We are “looking out for the little guy” and providing  the friendliest service to our members!

And once a member, always a member!
The Credit Union philosophy is “People Helping People”. Credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives providing financial services to the member-owners who save and borrow there. They exist solely to serve these members, and not stockholders. Credit unions operate not for profit, not for charity, but for service. Funds on deposit at the credit union are insured up to $250,000 by an agency of the U.S government – the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

While both credit unions and banks offer similar products and services, credit unions differ. Credit unions are governed by a volunteer board of directors who are elected by and from among the members of the credit union. Although the directors serve as volunteers, they are required to go through annual training to ensure that they are aware of regulatory and compliance requirements.

Unlike for-profit banks and other financial service providers, the credit union is not driven by the profit concerns of a small group of stock-holders. Since the motivation for business is different in credit unions, fees are fewer and lower while interest rates paid to members on savings are higher and those paid by the member on loans are lower.

Customers are Owners

The executive management of any company must answer to its owners. With a publicly-traded banking institution, shareholders care about only one thing: making money. In these companies, management often makes decisions that benefit the shareholder but inconvenience the customer. Shareholders might be happy when a bank decides to charge a new fee to increase revenue (and as a result, the stock price), but those who use the bank’s services do not want additional fees.

With credit unions, the set of owners and the set of customers are one and the same. All decisions should benefit everyone.

Credit Unions are Non-profit
As a result of the advantage listed so far, credit unions typically offer free accounts with no minimum balance requirements. Fees are generally absent from credit unions. Interest rates on savings, certificates of deposit, and some checking accounts often significantly exceed those offered by banks. In the same respect, interest charged for loans and credit are often lower. In fact, some credit unions are regulated such that the interest rate on loans and credit cards must not exceed a certain rate.
