| Welcome to an American institution supporting freedom of financial choice and the organizational spirit of people helping people. America’s credit unions are full-service, financial institutions owned by the depositors, the members of the organization, and not by private investors, other institutions, or foreign organizations. Funds deposited and loans made help the members and their local communities.
Credit unions are not-for-profit, and exist to provide a safe and convenient place for members to receive better interest on their deposits, and obtain loans at reasonable rates. Additionally, members receive the dividends paid on successful operations, rather than outside institutions and non-depositors. Choosing a credit union as your financial institution is an investment in your future.
Like other financial institutions, credit unions are closely regulated and insured. An agency of the federal government, the National Credit Union Administration, manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), insuring individual savings accounts up to $100,000 and retirement accounts up to $250,000.
This site is dedicated to helping you understand the true nature of credit unions, and in locating a credit union that is right for you.
