Houston Metropolitan Federal Credit Union is different from other financial institutions because it is owned by the members who save and borrow here. The Credit Union was chartered for the purpose of offering a benefit to our members (both savers and borrowers ) that gives them an economic advantage over other financial institutions with the same or similar services. Members are united by common bonds and democratically operate the Credit Union under federal regulation. Members elect from among themselves the volunteers to serve on the Board of Directors, which sets policies and establishes bylaws for the credit union. The job of running the day-to-day operation of the Credit Union is delegated to the professional staff. After deducting expenses and funds for reserves, as required by law, Credit Union income is returned to the members as dividends on savings, as lower interest on loans and/or as free or low-cost special services.
