About Indiana Credit Unions
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives, serving members who share something in common: employment, association membership, or residence in a particular geographic area. As member-owned, not-for-profit cooperatives, credit unions generally offer more attractive savings and loan rates and lower fees. They return earnings not needed for reserves or to invest in operations to the members through better rates and lower fees. Surveys consistently rank credit unions first among financial institutions in consumer satisfaction.
Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit. Their goal is to serve all of their members well, including those of modest means—every member counts, and credit union members tend to be very loyal for this reason. They know their credit union will be there for them in bad times, as well as good. This “People Helping People” philosophy causes credit unions and their employees to get involved in community charitable activities and worthwhile causes.
