Why Credit Unions?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial institutions that accept deposits, make loans, and provide a wide array of other financial services and products. When you join a credit union, you become a member-owner. That means your credit union is going to work in your best interest, and as a member-owner you have a say.
The mission of credit unions is to lift people up financially, starting with education. When folks don’t have access to financial education, they are six times more likely to have trouble making ends meet. So credit unions are focused on helping members access the education and resources they need to work toward a healthy financial future.
