Profile: Tucson Federal Credit Union

Better Than a Bank!

Banks and other for-profit financial institutions are governed by a paid Board of Directors. The Board's job is to provide the shareholders with increased profits via dividends. Some of the ways to do this include more fees, higher loan rates, and lower deposit rates.

Credit Unions are not-for-profit, full-service financial institutions that serve groups of people who share something in common, such as place of employment, organizational membership or school affiliation. Unlike banks or other for-profit financial institutions, credit unions don't exist to make money, we exist to serve our members/owners.

Over the last ten years, credit unions have been the fastest growing financial service institutions in the country.

• There are 8,961 credit unions in the U.S.*
• Total Assets: $705 Billion*
• Total Members: 87.5 Million*
