As a financial cooperative we are continually working
to provide our members with the most cost efficient financial services.
In an era of fees for every service, we pride ourselves on not assessing
our members fees for the financial services we offer. These include
routine services such as checking accounts, savings accounts, Christmas
clubs and sophisticated services such as the credit union check
card which allows members access to ATMs throughout the world and
can be used at any retailer displaying the VISA Debit symbol. Services
we currently offer include the following:
Shares Account - An interest bearing account
for your savings. Every member must keep $5.00 in their shares to
be a member of the credit union.
No charge checking - Our share draft checking
program provides you with a monthly statement, no minimum balance
requirement and absolutely no charge per check. We even pay for
your first 50 checks. The only cost is the cost to purchase your
check order or any insufficient fund checks returned to you. No
charge ... no fee!
Check Card - The check card operates like a credit card, however, funds are actually deducted from your checking account. You can use the credit union check card at any merchant or ATM machine that accepts VISA Debit. The credit union provides your first 5 PIN transactions free each month. Additional transactions are $1.00 each. There is no charge for use of the check card at any merchant when you sign for your purchases through the credit system.

LOAN SERVICES
We offer many different loan options summarized below:
1. New & Used Vehicle Loans: We always offer
very competitive rates on both new and used vehicle loans. Loans
are approved quickly and in many cases you can receive pre-approved
loans so that you know the maximum amount that you can borrow before
you make a deal for your vehicle. Remember, you are usually better
off to take the dealer rebate and then secure low cost financing
through the credit union. Also available, we offer optional low
cost Life, Disability and GAP Insurance. (Click
