Disclosure: Thank you to Louisiana Credit Union League for Sponsoring this post.
Did you know that today is International Credit Union Day? I didn’t…until recently.
A lot of people think Credit Unions are just another kind of bank, but that isn’t the case. Credit Unions are actually member-owned financial co-operatives. Credit Unions are members of our local community, and work very differently than the large banks you might be familiar with. When you open your credit union account you become a partial owner and participate in your credit union’s profitability. In 2014 alone, Louisiana credit unions provided more than 282,000 consumer loans and over $180 million in business loans.
I’ve been a member of a credit union since my early 20’s and have loved the community feel and the benefits it brings.
