A History of Helping
From the beginning, credit unions were created to help people become economically independent by helping them learn to save and borrow responsibly.
Credit unions are here to serve their members, not make a profit. Earnings are returned to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits and lower fees.
Every member has equal ownership and one vote, regardless of how much money you have on deposit. At credit unions, everyone is both a member and an owner.
