Credit Union Philosophy

Credit Unions are people-oriented financial institutions with one significant difference setting them apart from banks and savings and loans: The member owns the Credit Union rather than an individual or small group of individuals. Members band together, pool their money and establish a non-profit cooperation solely for the purpose of helping members assist one another financially.

That's what it's all about, people helping people. It is our goal to carry on the Credit Union tradition of people helping people into the future. Just by saying the word "MEMBER" we remind ourselves of the important part you play in this Credit Union's day to day operations today and tomorrow.
