Credit Unions are Economic Democracies
A credit union is a cooperative financial institution, locally owned and operated by the members who use its services. Nearly everyone in Washington and Oregon is eligible to join a credit union. Credit unions exist for solely to serve their members, not to make a profit. Credit unions are typically able to offer better rates on loans and a better return on savings than for-profit financial institutions. Because credit unions operate under a volunteer governance structure, they do not pay board members or dividends to stockholders. Credit unions are concerned about the economic well-being of their members.
