Why a credit union, not a bank

You own the placeYou're a member-owner. There are no stockholders to pay, so the profit goes back to members as better rates and lower fees.
Your money is just as safeDeposits are insured by the NCUA up to $250,000, the same as the FDIC at a bank.
Cheaper loans, better savingsCredit unions tend to pay more on savings and charge less on car, personal and home loans.
ATMs everywhereMost belong to the CO-OP network, with thousands of fee-free ATMs and shared branches across the country.

How credit unions get listed here

Partners are credit unions that sponsor Financial Rebellion. Being listed is not a rating, and a partner isn't the only good credit union near you.

Who can join is set by each credit union, usually by county, employer or school. We summarize it here. Their own site has the final word.

No partner in your state? The NCUA, the federal agency that insures credit unions, runs a free locator for every credit union in the country.

Financial Rebellion is a free weekly newsletter about money that does not talk down to you.
