Banks vs. Credit Unions: Which Is Right for You?
Learn how credit unions put people before profits and help you reach your financial goals
Choosing where to keep your money is an important decision. While banks and credit unions offer many of the same products such as checking accounts, loans, and credit cards, the way they operate and serve members is very different.
Banks are typically owned by shareholders and focused on generating profits. Credit unions, on the other hand, are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by their members. That means any earnings are reinvested to provide better rates, lower fees, and improved services.
At Orange County’s Credit Union, every member has a voice and benefits from our member-first approach. From competitive loan rates to personalized service and local decision-making, we’re committed to helping you build financial confidence.
If you’re looking for a financial partner that values people as much as performance, a credit union could be the better fit.
