Credit Unions & Member Services

Credit unions, established by and for a set of people with a common bond, often employees of the same company, provide many of the same services of banks, but often offer lower rates and other member benefits. Credit unions are owned by their employees, and their officials are elected by those members. The first credit union in the United States was started in 1909 in New Hampshire, and there are now over 11,000 credit unions nationwide. Many of these unions have helpful Web sites with information about member benefits, details about how to join, and online applications for financial services.
