Love
Members love their credit unions for many reasons, especially for all the terrific services they offer. While services at each credit union vary depending on their members’ needs, they all offer the chance for members to have a say in what’s important to them.
Credit union services include:
| Low-cost or free checking with low or no minimum balance | Direct deposits, and cable and wire deposits |
| High interest rates on savings accounts, CDs and money market accounts | Investment services |
| Low-interest rates on mortgages and auto loans | Inexpensive money orders and cashier’s checks |
| Credit cards with low or no annual fees and low interest rates | Notary services |
| Online banking | Special discount programs |
Trust
You can trust your credit union to put its members first, since they are not-for-profit.
That’s why credit unions weathered the recent economic turbulence, by following conservative investment practices, lending responsibly and living within their financial means.
Credit unions are federally regulated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and insured for deposits up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Credit unions continue to see asset growth, despite what’s been happening to other financial institutions during these tough times. So, you can trust that your money is both safe and sound.
