Credit Unions have evolved over the years. They have broadened their membership eligibility requirements and adopted new banking technologies. More people can now join and enjoy the benefits of a full-service, member-owned financial institution.
Meeting Member Expectations
Credit Unions provide a variety of products and services tailored to accommodate their diverse membership. While some members are drawn to Credit Unions for their personalized service, others join because the offerings align with their specific financial needs.
Credit Unions bridge the gap between technology and personalized service.
Bank Any Time, Anywhere – Credit Unions have mobile and online banking, which provides convenience, ease of use, and security. Members can transfer funds, send Zelles, deposit checks remotely, pay bills, and set up alerts with just the push of a few buttons.
Expanded Services and Products – Credit Unions offer more than just savings accounts and loans; they provide:
- Mortgages and Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)
- Credit Cards
- CD’s and Money Market Accounts
- Land Loans
- Financial Wellness Programs
- Referral programs
Expanded Membership Accessibility – Membership in a Credit Union is no longer limited to specific groups. New regulations allow membership based on a variety of criteria.
Nationwide Accessibility – Members can access their accounts anywhere, at any time, through mobile and online banking and a shared branch system. Access to shared ATMs and branches means access to an extensive financial service network larger than some commercial banks.
Secure and Insured – Credit Unions are up to date with data and cyber security, implementing robust authentication protocols, fraud detection systems, and real-time monitoring. In addition, mobile apps allow members to set alerts on their accounts to ensure their transactions are secure. In addition, Credit Unions are regulated and insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). All member deposits are insured up to $250,000.
Credit Unions are no longer small, local institutions that offer limited services. They provide competitive financial products and services, advanced technology, and a community-focused mission. Most importantly, their not-for-profit status means they prioritize member needs over profit.
