Rates & Fees

As you browse our rates and fees, you may notice that they are better than the competition. Well, that is because we are a not-for-profit financial institution and our priorities are different. We like to return our profits back to our membership in the form of higher yields on investments and lower rates on loans, plus we discount or eliminate the fees that others may charge. It’s part of what we call the credit union difference!
