What makes University Credit Union a better choice than a bank like Bank of America, Chase, or Wells Fargo?

 

While banks and credit unions offer similar products and services, a bank's mission is to enrich its shareholders. In contrast, a credit union is a not-for-profit financial institution owned jointly by you, our member-owners. All earnings are funneled back into our financial cooperative and with your participation and relationship we provide member-owners unparalleled benefits that include the Best Rates in the Nation Guarantee.*
