What is a Credit Union?
How is a credit union different than a bank? Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services. But as member-owned and cooperative institutions, credit unions provide a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates.
Member-owned. You are more than a member, you are part owner.
Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services. Your vote counts. A volunteer board of directors is elected by members to manage a credit union.
Not-For-Profit
Credit unions operate to promote the well-being of their members. Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates and lower loan rates.

How do I join?

Is the $25.00 needed to open my account a fee?
No, the $25.00 is not a fee, but a deposit into your Savings Account. If you ever close your account, you can withdraw the $25.00.
What else will I need to open an account?
We need the following for each owner of the account:

Your Savings Account is the “Gateway Account” to other products and services. You must maintain your Savings Account to add other accounts and services.
