What Is it People Love About Being a Member of DMCU?

Credit Union vs. Bank

What’s important to understand about a credit union is that it is just that: a union of members. A bank is a for-profit business run by a board of directors. Its goal is to make money for its investors, which it often does by charging steep fees for services and setting high interest rates on loans. A credit union is a not-for-profit organization that returns any earnings to its membership in the form of lower-cost or better services.

As a membership-based, not-for-profit organization, credit unions are governed by their members who vote on policies and procedures. You decide how you want your credit union to be run.

Interest Rates & Fees

When you compare interest rates for a savings or checking account at a credit union with those at a bank, you will generally find a credit union offers higher rates. When you borrow money to buy a car, home or fund another venture, your interest rate on your loan will likely be lower at a credit union.

Furthermore, most fees are lower as well. Banks may charge high fees for simple services like getting a cashier’s check or signing up for overdraft protection — services that credit unions may provide free or for only a nominal price.

Better Customer Service

Credit unions are also known to provide superior customer service compared to banks. Banks are run by a faceless board that you never get to see or talk to. But credit unions are personal and local. DMCU has branches in Detroit, Clawson and Novi.

Safe & Sound

Rest assured credit unions are just as safe a place to keep your money as a bank — both are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
