Frequently Asked Questions
 

What is a Credit Union?

A non-profit financial institution that is privately owned and operated entirely by its members. Credit unions provide financial services for their members, including savings and lending. To join a credit union, a person must ordinarily belong to a participating organization, such as a college alumni association or labor union or share a common employer. When a person deposits money in a credit union, he/she becomes a member of the union because the deposit is considered partial ownership in the credit union.
