Community Involvement Virginia Credit Union’s commitment to our communities At Virginia Credit Union, it’s easy to see that we put a priority on our members’ financial health. We believe that financial education, transparent practices and trustworthy advice contribute directly to our members’ financial success. But we often hear from members, who own our cooperative, that they want more than just financial success – they want a healthy and secure life. A big part of making that happen is ensuring the overall health of our shared community. Becoming a VACU member is about more than finding great rates and lower fees (which, of course, we offer). We attract members who recognize the benefits of being part of a local, member-owned organization, and who expect their credit union to be active in the community. Impact and outreach Under the direction of an employee-run outreach committee, we focus on issues that our members and employees both identify as important to the long-term benefit of communities across the Commonwealth.
