What is a Credit Union?

A credit union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution owned and operated by its members. All members have an equal voice in the operation of the organization regardless of the amount he or she has on deposit with the credit union.

Credit unions were founded on the basic democratic premise of the cooperative movement based on the principle of people helping people. Access to low-cost financial services is critical to the health and stability of ordinary citizens.

Unlike other financial institutions, credit unions return earnings to its members through lower rates on loans, higher returns on savings and provides the best possible service to its members. Meeting members’ financial needs is the first priority of credit unions.
