Credit Union Culture...What does it mean?

For many it’s the fact that their family has had accounts at a credit union for forever, or maybe a credit union gave someone a loan when others wouldn’t and they are loyal because they helped them.  Maybe you’re not a member yet, and you’re trying to figure out what makes credit union’s different.

From those of us behind the desk, counter, and drive-thru tube, credit union culture means so much more than just that. When I first started working for a credit union, I had no idea what they were, much less what a huge impact one would make on my life as an employee, and as a member. Did you know all credit union employees are also members of the same credit union? We are! As employees and members, we are a part of the same cooperative spirit that brings people together.

Credit unions are a family, and as families do, we want what’s best for each other. In the end, the more financial success you have, the more successful we are. You’ll see many familiar faces at your local credit union, because many of us have been there for quite a few years. It’s because we love what we do. As you visit a credit union for the first time, or come back week after week, and month after month, we hope you know how much we appreciate you.

From my family to yours!
