Credit Union advantages

Back

When joining a Credit Union can also have the advantage of several benefits.

What you must first understand about Credit unions…
Credit unions are cooperative financial institutions, like banks, except the members own the credit union. They are not-for-profit entities that aim to serve their members rather than seeking to earn a profit. The main focus of a credit union is its members’ best interests. Credit unions often offer better savings rates, lower loan rates, and reduced fees because of this.
