Each financial institution has its own terms, fees and rates, and as a client, you are entitled to know what you are getting into. Why Choose the Oregon Credit Union? The main difference between a bank and a Oregon credit union is that a bank is for-profit organization, while the union is non-profit. Unions exist to serve the community and they want to help people develop, achieve their goals. This is why many have the main requirement to join to be from their region. To add more, they have diverse educational programs and charity events, because they want to make a difference and help those around. On the other hand, banks have the purpose of pleasing shareholders and care about making a profit the most. Credit unions strive to offer favorable financial products and services, so that the community can afford them. Loan rates are better, fees are lower and they are even willing to work with members that have poor credit scores or debt. They don’t deny their membership or access to loans, they want to find solutions and see what can be done. You can’t say the same about other financial institutions. In fact, many have strict requirements and if they are not met, applications are denied from the beginning.

  3. Choosing between banks Oregon and unions involves some analysis and thinking about all factors that contribute to the decision. Banks don’t excel at customer service experience and they seem impersonal and cold. On the other hand, unions are more welcoming and you feel like talking to someone that understands you. It is very important in certain moments to find someone that listens and can help, it makes a difference and you end up with a better impression. Credit unions have higher interest rates on deposits and lower ones on loans. You can save more money and still obtain the loan you need so much. Even regarding technology you can rest assured that these organizations are rising up to expectations and they adopt the newest trends. You can benefit from internet and mobile banking and a broad ATM network, especially because of the shared branches. As seen, you don’t miss out on anything. Why do you need the products/services of a financial institution in the first place? Make a list with what works best for you and what you expect in return to your application/membership. Afterwards, you can search your region for the available institutions and investigate what they offer, what fees and rates they have, if they have the needed products, and such. Banks work for some people, while others want to benefit from a better experience and they are unhappy about the high fees and treatment they receive. These are some of the reasons why many turn their attention towards the Oregon credit union. You can start by identifying the one within the region and then get in touch to see how you can become a member.
