SC Connecticut News

As a credit union member, you may already know that credit unions can offer lower rates and big savings compared to big banks, especially during these economic times. In an article from NerdWallet, you can learn more about how credit unions work and the potential savings they can offer.

The article explains that credit unions are not-for-profit cooperative financial institutions that return their profits to members. They offer many of the same products and services that banks do, but those might go by different names. For instance, a checking account may be referred to as a "share draft account." Credit unions may also belong to an ATM network that allows you to perform transactions beyond a specific branch.

Additionally, the article highlights that profits at credit unions are returned to members in the form of low fees, better rates on loans, and higher rates on savings. Credit unions may also offer more options to save, and profits are also returned to members through educational programs.

Thank you for being a valued member of our credit union.
