[11]
are you're already using one we all need
[15]
a place that we can go to keep our money
[16]
safe make loans and open lines of credit
[18]
but where we choose to place our
[20]
financial trust is no small deal and I'd
[24]
like to share an option with you that
[25]
you may not yet be aware of so sit tight
[28]
stay right there and let's discover how
[31]
credit unions may have a huge positive
[33]
impact on your future unlike traditional
[41]
banks credit unions are nonprofit
[44]
organizations that operate similarly to
[47]
banks in terms of services that they can
[49]
provide however the main distinction is
[52]
that credit unions are owned and
[54]
controlled by the members of that credit
[56]
union so as a member you also get a vote
[60]
and decisions that affect the
[61]
organization because credit unions are
[64]
nonprofit entities they focus on
[67]
covering operating costs and ensuring
[69]
that the members are happy rather like a
[72]
bank then trying to make the
[74]
shareholders happy and creating huge
[75]
profits this focus on the member
[79]
experience is the main benefit because
[82]
lower fees result in more savings for
[84]
those members that's you at credit
[87]
unions you can expect better interest
[89]
rates on savings accounts loans and
[91]
mortgages and they'll almost always be
[94]
available for you if you aren't
[96]
completely confident about what interest
[99]
rates means be sure to take a minute to
[102]
watch a great video called what is APR
[105]
how to determine the cost of a loan I'll
[108]
link it for you here and again at the
[110]
end of the video credit unions are
[112]
actually communities that approach
[114]
members like you with a personal touch
[117]
if you have a poor credit or low income
[120]
they don't just tell you to leave
[122]
they're often willing to work with you
[124]
and maybe even educate you on how to
[126]
improve your financial situation this
[129]
all sounds wonderful right so what's the
[131]
catch you might ask
[133]
well it's the same as any challenge that
[136]
are faced by people who may live in a
[138]
small town accessibility accessibility
[141]
is a big factor there are only so many
[145]
locations available so ATMs and banking
[148]
assistance may be harder to access while
[151]
traveling
[151]
you can't expect all of the technology
[154]
that the big banks may have available
[156]
for the hottest app or the nicest
[158]
website not everyone can be a member
[161]
either some credit unions are based on a
[164]
specific area of residence or a certain
[168]
demographic you may have a requirement
[171]
of being part of a certain community
[173]
like a line of work to be part of the
[176]
accepted credit union community chances
[179]
are likely that there's a credit union
[181]
that would just love to have you
[183]
just make sure that it would be the
[185]
right banking situation for all of your
[187]
needs and if you travel a fair amount
[189]
and would require the large network and
[192]
the latest banking technology this may
[195]
not be the right option for you if you
[197]
like the community aspect and personal
[199]
touch this may be a great option for you
[202]
and for your financial future make sure
[206]
to do your homework and find out about
[207]
the requirements and fees before you
