Membership

What is a credit union?
A credit union is not-for-profit financial cooperative that is formed by people with a common bond. Credit unions are owned and operated by the members it serves. Members of credit unions pool their assets to provide loans and other financial services to each other.

How is a credit union different from a bank?
Banks are for-profit companies that exist to generate high levels of profit for their stockholders. Bank stockholders elect a paid board of directors to run the bank and to financially benefit stockholders, not the bank’s depositors. Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that were founded on the idea of “people helping people”. They are member-owned and exist to serve their members, with a volunteer board of directors.

What are the minimum qualifications for a loan approval?
You must be employed or have a verifiable source of income, the ability to repay the debt and a stable credit history.

What type of income verification is required for self-employed individuals?
We require copies of your tax returns from the two most recent years.

Are there any prepayment penalties for paying off a consumer loan?
No, you can pay off any consumer loan without incurring a prepayment penalty.
