Credit Union Philosophy
When you join Mid-Cities Financial Credit Union, you become
a member/owner of a not-for profit, financial cooperative
organized solely for the needs of our members. Since credit
unions are owned and controlled by their members, all profits
are returned directly to the membership in the form of higher
dividend rates on savings and lower rates on loans.
In 1935,
when credit unions were helping Americans through the Great
Depression, the treasurer of a Midwestern credit union said
that credit unions were "not for profit, not
for charity, but for service," and that philosophy holds
true today.
Credit unions continue to look out for their members’ interests
and provide a level of service that is not generally available
at other financial institutions. Whether it’s providing
a loan to help a member cover unexpected medical bills, giving
financial counseling to a member whose company closed its doors,
or simply offering a better deal on a used car loan, credit
unions make a difference for their members and the communities
they serve. |
