What is a credit union?

A Credit Union is a place where people with common interests, like where they live or work, come together to save and borrow their money.Credit Unions provide many of the same services that banks do, but there are a few things that make us different:

• We are “not for profit”. This simply means we’re not in business just to make money
• Money that we do make is returned to you in the form of better rates and services
• We’re owned by you—the member
• As much as possible, the money we make is spent and put back into the local community where you live
