Frequently Asked Questions


  • Are Savings Deposits Insured?

    Yes. All savings accounts are insured up to at least $250,000 by the NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the federal government.
  • What is a credit union and who owns it?

    A credit union is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution organized to promote thrift and provide credit to members. It is member-owned and controlled by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. Each credit union member owns one "share" of the organization which entitles them to one vote on important issues, such as the election of member representatives to serve on the Board of Directors. The Board establishes and revises policy, sets dividend and loan rates, and directs certain operations. The result: members are provided with a safe, convenient place to save and borrow money at reasonable rates at an institution which exists to benefit them, not to solely make a profit.
  • What is the purpose of a credit union?

    The primary purpose in furthering their goal of service is to encourage members to save money. Another purpose is to offer loans to members. In fact, credit unions have traditionally made loans to people of ordinary means. Credit unions can charge lower rates for loans (as well as pay higher dividends on savings) because they are not-for-profit cooperatives. Rather than paying profits to stockholders, credit unions return earnings to members in the form of dividends or improved services.
