What is a credit union?
A credit union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Members pool their savings to provide each other with loans and financial services, and any surplus is returned to members through better rates and lower fees rather than paid to outside shareholders.
Are credit unions safe?
Deposits at federally insured credit unions are protected up to $250,000 per account by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent agency of the U.S. government — the credit-union equivalent of FDIC insurance for banks.
Credit union vs bank — what's the difference?
Banks are for-profit companies owned by shareholders; credit unions are non-profit cooperatives owned by their members. Because credit unions return profits to members, they often offer higher savings rates, lower loan rates and fewer fees — but membership is usually tied to a field of membership (an employer, area or association).
How do I join a credit union?
Find one whose field of membership you qualify for — by where you live or work, your employer, or an association you can join — then open a share account (often as little as $5). Use the finder below to browse credit unions in your state.
