Reasons to Join

People, Not Profits

Credit unions are not regular companies. They are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their Members. There are no payments or dividends for outside stockholders as with traditional banks. Instead, any profits are returned to Members in the form of lower rates, higher interest, lower fees, and other credit union discounts.

Ownership

Credit unions are literally owned by their members. And every member (or shareholder) has an equal say, regardless of how long they’ve been a member or how much money is in their account. Plus, credit unions are governed by a volunteer board of directors, elected by the membership. So members can be very confident that decisions are made based on member needs.

 

Social Purpose

Credit unions are a great choice for the philanthropically minded. Because the primary purpose of a credit union is service, they are usually very involved in actively helping their communities. If you want to give back to your community, becoming a member of a credit union is a great place to start. Being a part of an organization that focuses on building a thriving community is a clear credit union advantage, and one many members are proud of.
