Credit Unions vs Banks
Here is the difference!
Credit unions are for the people.
Credit unions follow the model of people taking care of people, while banks tend to focus on satisfying their stockholders.
Credit Unions:
- Each member who deposits money has a share of ownership
- Members elect a volunteer Board of Directors to represent their interests
- They are member service-driven
- Return profits to members in a form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates and free or low cost services
- Your deposit funds are NCUA insured up to $250K per membership type
