    Member Rewards!

    Over $280,000 in dividends disbursed in 2023.

    What are member rewards?

    As a cooperative union, we are owned by our members. Member dividends are how we show appreciation for their loyalty and share our organization’s success.

    Our member rewards offer each member the opportunity to share in our earnings. It's just one of the many upsides of supporting your local credit union.

    Because earnings from deposits and loans are what make these dividends possible, the amount any member receives is based on the balance of the account over a particular period. The more business you do with us, the more you share in our earnings.
