Web tip of the week, April 4, 2011 – Credit Unions

http://www.creditunion.coop/
During the Great Depression, “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.”

This website has a credit union locator and I am urging everyone to consider opening a credit union account in addition to a regular bank account. Credit unions offer very low interest rates on car loans (2.99%) and offer special high interest rate CDs from time to time. The Tiger Credit union on campus is part of West Community Credit Union. It is no longer located at 3 Brady Commons, but is now on the lower level of the Memorial Student Union in room N17. For more information, also see Tiger Credit union’s website: https://www.tigerscu.org/asp/home.asp
