Why should my friends and family join?
The Credit Union is owned by its members, not faceless stockholders. That’s why friends and family can expect lower rates, lower fees (and no fees when possible), higher dividends, and more innovative products and services than they’d get at many other financial institutions. Accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are insured separately for $250,000.
