Credit Union Difference

Instead of being owned by shareholders, credit unions are owned by the people who have accounts with them – called member-owners.

Members have a vote and are more than just simply an account number. But don’t worry, this isn’t like your gym membership that costs you. Our membership is free & gives you tons of perks.

Purpose before profit – always.

Profits are returned back to members through better rates on loans, higher savings rates, lower fees and investments in banking technology.

At a bank, profit is returned to shareholders.

Members of a credit union share a common bond. For City & County Credit Union, our members share a bond by where they live and sometimes where they work.

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures your deposits at a credit union, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits at a bank.

Credit unions and banks both insure the same amount - $250,000. Plus, at CCCU your accounts are insured an additional $250,000 with Excess Share Insurance (ESI).

Just for being a member, you gain access to exclusive perks and benefits to empower you in all areas of your life.

The list is always growing and includes things like a car buying service, discounts on insurance and free event tickets.

Credit unions take pride in where we exist. We believe in playing a larger role in helping our communities thrive and become the best places to live and work.

That's why you'll often find us volunteering in the community, hosting free events, and supporting the local businesses that help our neighborhoods flourish.

Our Think Pink Shop Local map is one more way we bring neighbors & businesses together, making it easy to support the people and places that make our communities feel like home.
