Credit Union Difference

A credit union is a cooperative, not-for-profit, financial institution, owned and operated by its members to meet their financial needs. A credit union serves members who share a common bond, such as location/community, education, social interest, employment, or religion.

Credit Unions are similar to banks in that they offer the same products and services such as savings, checking and loans.

Here’s the difference

  • Credit unions are not-for-profit.  Earnings are paid back to members in the form of higher savings rates and lower loan rates.
  • Banks are for-profit.  Earnings are paid to stockholders only.
  • Credit Unions have volunteer Board of Directors.
  • When you bank at a Credit Union, you’re considered a member, not a customer.
  • Ownership.  Members are the owners of the Credit Union. Opening a Prime Share savings account with a minimum deposit, represents “your” share in this cooperative financial organization and gives each member one vote.

By opening an account at a Credit Union, you can escape the world of big bank fees and join over 100 million Americans who already do their banking at a Credit Union.
