What's the difference between
banks and credit unions?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial institutions that exist for the sole purpose of serving their community.
Purpose
Banks exist to make a profit, while credit unions are not-for-profits that exist to serve their members.
Ownership
Banks are are owned by shareholders, and credit unions are owned by their members. A credit union’s Board of Directors is elected by the members, and each member of the board serves on a volunteer basis, receiving no compensation.
Rates
Banks will try to keep dividends low and interest rates high to turn a profit for their shareholders. In a credit union, the members are the shareholders, so any profit is returned to members as higher dividends and lower interest rates.
