Coosa Valley Credit Union recently explained the value of credit union membership in a column featured in Coosa Valley News.
The following is an excerpt from that column:
Credit union membership reflects ownership. When you join a credit union, you are a member for life. Credit unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that exist solely for the benefit of the member. Membership means credit unions return profits to members in the form of higher savings rates and lower loan rates, well as free or low-cost products and services.
