Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services.

Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services.
Your vote counts. A volunteer board of directors is elected by members to manage a credit union.
