1
Voluntary and Open Membership: Credit
unions open their doors to people regardless
of their race, gender or financial situation. Members
are connected by a bond of association, fostering a
sense of community.
2
Democratic Member Control: One
member—one vote. Whether you have $5 or
$5 million in our Credit Union, your voice is equal.
Each credit union has a board of directors that serve
on a volunteer basis.
3
Member Economic Participation: The more
that members participate, the greater the
benefits to all. You benefit by receiving higher
saving yields, lower loan rates, more products and
fewer fees. It's a win-win for all!
4
Building Financial Stability: Credit unions
are historically stable organizations. They're
owned by the people they serve, so they don't
take unnecessary risks.
5
Cooperation Among Cooperatives:
Together, cooperatives amplify each
other's good works.
6
Financial Education, Training and
Information: Credit unions are committed
to providing financial education for their members,
employees and communities as part of their
pursuit of social justice.
7
Social Responsibility: Credit unions are
passionate about serving their members and
community. They volunteer for local charities and
participate in causes to make a difference.
