Why Membership?
What continues to differentiate credit unions from other financial institutions are the concepts of loyalty and social justice. Membership is an expression of that mutual commitment.
Unfortunately many credit unions have been forced to morph away from a community-based field-of-membership in order to effectively compete with banks. Nonetheless, the collaborative spirit is kept alive, perhaps reflecting the fundamental human desire to belong to a visionary society.
Who can be a Member?
