A credit union is a group of people who join together to save money and make loans to each other at favorable rates. As a credit union member you can generally expect to earn more when you save and pay less when you borrow. Credit union members usually have something in common, such as their place of work, hometown, professional organization or labor union. As a member, you are an owner.
Eligible members vote for the board of directors.
Directors and committee members serve as unpaid volunteers. For the 12th straight year, credit unions ranked highest in consumer satisfaction among financial institutions.
