Credit Unions Protect Your Money
Your money is safer, and more ethically handled in credit unions. Credit unions don’t engage in predatory lending practices, payday loans, subprime loans, or other risky and unsavory practices.
Credit unions adhere to traditional investment practices designed to safeguard and grow your investment in rational ways. They also live within their financial means and put the needs of you and your fellow members first. Isn’t that a nice change of pace from dealing with a big bank?
While a credit union is similar to a bank, the main difference is that credit unions are cooperatives. They only exist to serve its members. As a result, credit unions often have better interest rates than other banking institutions. With a bank, we are a “customer,” but with a credit union, we are a “member.” A bank’s percentage of profits goes to shareholders. A credit union’s percentage of profits is returned to its base of members.
