Benefits of Membership |
|
What is it that makes your credit union so special? Well, first of all, credit unions are committed to providing our members with favorable rates on loans and savings, low fees, personal attention and convenience. Banks, on the other hand, are for-profit financial institutions dedicated to making money for their stockholders, and that's okay. We're not saying that banks are "bad"; our focus is just that credit unions are different in our unique member-focused philosophy. Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. We return all excess income to our members in the form of better rates and lower fees. We offer the same financial products as banks, but we do it as a service, not as a source for income. That's why you'll notice that our fees are often significantly lower. Every credit union is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors; boards are elected by the members of the credit union at our Annual Meeting. The individuals currently serving on Ripco's Board of Directors are:
As a Credit union member-owner, you decide the destiny of your financial institution by who you elect to represent you. Our next Annual Meeting will be held on April 22, 2008 . Further details will be forthcoming in early 2008. |
