 What is a Credit Union?

A Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial institution that exists solely for the benefit of its members. The members are the shareholders or owners. Although Credit Unions offer the same products and services as other financial institutions, they are fundamentally different. Credit Unions are organized to serve a specific group of people with a common bond such as employment or residence. Focusing on specific groups allow Credit Unions to have a thorough understanding of the members and their needs and in turn provide a higher level of service and dedication. All income, after operating expenses and reserved allocations, is returned to the member in the form of higher dividends and lower interest rates on loans.
