Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial institutions owned by their members (like you), while banks are for-profit corporations.
At a bank, your transactions are structured to make a profit for investors and stakeholders.
At a Credit Union, profit is returned to members as better rates, fewer fees and enhanced technology, and helps the credit union stay fiscally healthy for members’ benefit.
At The Summit, your money works harder for you so you reach your goals faster. Our dedication to serving you and your needs is also why we offer so much financial education, and why we’re known for exceptional member service.
