What’s the difference between a credit union and a bank?
|
|

|
Unlike banks, credit unions are not-for-profit financial coops. So the funds that are saved by members are invested or loaned to other members in order to pay dividends on savings. It’s “members helping members.”
|
|
How often are savings rates changed?
|
 |
Savings rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis to provide the best rates possible. Depending on financial markets, CMECU attempts to offer an excellent rate of return to our savers.
|
|
May I have my pension direct deposited into my savings account?
|
 |
Yes, it is a great convenience CMECU is pleased to offer our members. The funds are deposited into a checking account and can be easily accessed via check or at any ATM machine.
|
Since I’m on payroll deduction, why isn’t my loan request automatically approved?
|
 |
Payroll deduction is a method of payment, not a lending criteria. CMECU loan officers use prudent lending guidelines such as credit history, debt ratio, and current financial situation.
