Unsure about the difference between banks and credit unions?

Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial institutions. That means that unlike banks, we don't have to pay stockholders. In fact, our Board of Directors are volunteers and are elected by you to make sure that we're serving your best interests. That's how you'll know that you're always receiving low-rate loans and high-yield savings.
