Q | What is a Credit Union?

A | A Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative. As a not-for-profit cooperative institution, a Credit Union uses excess earnings to offer members affordable loans, a higher return on savings, lower fees, or new products and services. A Credit Union is operated entirely by and for its members. Once you deposit money, you become a member since your deposit represents your ownership share.
