Credit union members love their credit unions for many reasons. While the scope of services vary from credit union to credit union, all credit unions offer the chance for members to say what's important to them. In general, credit union members “Own Their Money” in these ways:
- Credit cards with low or no annual fees and low interest rates
- Direct deposits, cable and wire deposits
- Financial education and counseling services
- High interest rates on savings accounts, CDs and money market accounts
- Invest in America Member Discount Program
- Investment services
- Low cost or free checking with low or no minimum balance requirements
- Low interest rates on mortgages and vehicle loans
- Notary services
- Online banking
- Savings insured up to $250,000 through the federally-backed NCUSIF
