How is Firefighters Community Credit Union different from a bank?
A credit union is a group of people with a permit to do business with each other. A credit union is not a credit bureau; it is not a labor union; it is not a loan company or a financial house; it is a group of people who have joined forces to manage their own money. Its basic objectives are to teach and encourage thrift among members and, through their combined savings, extend to members low-cost credit for any worthwhile purpose. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are able to offer you better rates and more personal service than for-profit banks.
