Savings
By putting a little aside on a regular basis, you not only have something to look forward to, but also something to fall back on, should the need arise. You are not just another customer but a member of a highly successful financial co-operative. Each member holds a share in the ownership of the Credit Union, and along with having a say in the operation of the Credit Union, you could also earn dividends on every share held.
