About Us

What is a Credit Union?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial service cooperatives, owned and controlled by their members, and operating in a democratic way. What difference does that make?

Co-ops are businesses, but a cooperative operates solely for the members' benefit. All co-op businesses run in accordance with seven basic principles.

	Open and voluntary membership.
	Democratic member control.
	Member economic participation.
	Autonomy and independence.
	Education, training, and information.
	Cooperation among cooperatives.
	Concern for community.
