Credit unions are uniquely different from banks because credit unions are not for profit financial institutions cooperatively owned and operated by its Members. Each Member is an equal owner and each has one vote in electing a volunteer board of directors. Credit unions can often offer more favorable rates and lower fees for services since they are not for profit. When you make the decision to become a Member of a credit union, you are becoming an owner.
