The Credit Union Difference
Credit unions are cooperatively-owned, not-for-profit financial institutions. Every credit union member is an equal owner of the financial cooperative.
Credit unions reinvest earnings to benefit all members in the form of lower interest rates on loans, higher rates on savings and fewer fees. Iowa credit union members save more than $140 million annually.
They support members in times of need with low-interest loans for medical emergencies, more options to help families pay for college or buy a home and with financial literacy programs to empower consumers to improve their financial lives.
