Unlike banks which take the money they make and pay out their stockholders, credit unions are not-for-profit and pay out their members in the form of lower rates and personalized services. A credit union member is someone who meets the membership criteria and belongs to the credit union. See if you qualify for a First Financial Membership.
How many people can say that their bank knows them by their name and customizes services just to meet their individual needs? Probably not many.
| Big Banks | Credit Unions |
| Credit Card increases | Affordable credit card rates |
| Credit lines cut or cut-off | Loans and lines of credit for what you need, when you need it |
| Rising fees and rates | Minimal fees and low rates |
| Need help? See Policy B, Section 24, Addendum 76c | Need help? Call, click or come by your nearest branch for personalized service |
So basically, a credit union is really like a bank, but better!
