What is a credit union?

What is a credit union?

It’s a great question. A credit union is different from a traditional bank, functioning as a cooperative that reinvests their profits into their members and the community. An initial $5 deposit can open a Membership Savings Account and give you access to all future member benefits, rates, and more.
