What is a Credit Union?

A Credit Union is a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution owned by its members. Credit unions were formed to allow their members to pool their savings, lend to each other, and own the organization. Ownership is represented by shares, the term used to describe funds deposited to an individual's account.
