While both credit unions and banks offer financial services, there are key differences:
- Ownership: Banks are for-profit and owned by shareholders. Credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives owned by their members.
- Focus: Banks prioritize maximizing profits, while credit unions focus on serving their members’ financial needs. This often leads to lower fees, better rates, and more personalized service at credit unions.
We strongly believe in the power of “Small Acts That Give Back.” This program lets us make a difference in unique and unexpected ways. Here are some examples:
- Heating Bill Campaign: We understand rising costs are a burden. Our heating bill campaign helps members by paying a portion of their winter heating expenses.
- Hometown Heroes: We recognize individuals who go above and beyond for their community, awarding them $1,000 each to support their causes.
- Surprise Acts of Kindness: We’ve covered lunch tabs at local restaurants, provided grocery gift cards, and offered treats and thank-yous to essential workers.
Our “Small Acts” program demonstrates our commitment to being a true community partner, spreading joy and support in meaningful ways.
