The Credit Union Difference

Verity Credit Union and the big banks are both types of financial institutions, but they are different in key ways

What makes Verity different from a bank? It’s the fact that Verity, like all credit unions, is owned by a group of members who have a common bond, either geographic or employment based, while a bank is owned by investors or shareholders. Verity is a not-for-profit, meaning all of the profits are reinvested back into the organization to benefit the membership. Banks’ profits, on the other hand, are awarded to their shareholders.
