Let's Talk

Credit Unions vs. Banks

Wondering if credit unions are safe and if it’s easier to get a loan from a credit union or bank, there are a lot of questions about the difference between a bank and a credit union. A credit union offers many of the same products and services of a bank. Here are a few advantages of a credit union over a bank.

Credit Unions

  • Not-for-Profit
  • 24/7 Access
  • 30,000 surcharge free ATMs
  • Fewer fees, better rates
  • Insured by NCUA

Banks

  • Owned by the shareholders
  • For Profit
  • 24/7 Access
  • 20,000 ATMs
  • More fees, worse rates
