What is a Credit Union?

Credit Union Purpose

Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives built to serve their members—not shareholders. That means every decision is made with people, not profit, at the center.

Where do earnings go?

Instead of going to outside investors, earnings are reinvested back into members—through better rates, lower fees, improved services, and meaningful community impact.

Account Protection

Your deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000—providing the same level of protection as traditional banks.

Governance

Credit unions are member-owned and democratically governed. Every member has an equal vote—because every voice matters, regardless of account size.

ATM Access

Enjoy access to more than 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide, giving you convenient access to your money wherever you are.

Community Focus

Rooted in local communities, credit unions invest in the places they serve—supporting local businesses, nonprofits, and initiatives that help communities thrive.

Ownership

When you join a credit union, you’re not just a customer—you’re an owner. That means your financial institution exists to serve you.
