What is a credit union?

Credit unions are like banks, but better! Credit unions accept deposits, make loans, and provide many other financial services. As a member-owned cooperative institution, credit unions provide a friendly environment to save and borrow at reasonable rates.

• Members are given the opportunity to vote for directors who serve on the volunteer board. This board then makes decisions on the member’s behalf.
• The cooperative idea can be explained easily; one member’s savings can become another member’s loan.
• Profits of the credit union are shared through lower fees, higher interest rates on deposits and lower rates on loans.
