What Is a Credit Union?
Credit Unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives.
This is what distinguishes the Credit Union from other financial
institutions.
Members help members by pooling their money, which is then available
to lend to their fellow members. Credit Union income, after expenses
and reserves, is returned directly to members in the form of lower
rates on loans, higher dividends on savings and many no-fee services.
Every primary member has a vote for the credit union's Board of
Directors, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit. There
is no select group of shareholders or owners that profits more
than anyone else. All members profit, individually and collectively.
More than 85 million Americans belong to Credit Unions. Research
shows that consumers are more satisfied with Credit Unions than
with any other financial service providers.
