What is the difference between a credit union vs a bank

The primary difference between a credit union and a bank lies in their ownership structure and operational goals. While both institutions offer banking services, there are several key distinctions.

Credit Unions
  • Ownership: Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations owned by their members, who are typically united by a common bond, such as their employer, community, or organization.
  • Cooperative Structure: Credit unions operate on a cooperative model, where members pool their funds and have an equal say in the decision-making process.
  • Focus on Members: Credit unions are designed to serve the best interests of their members, often offering lower fees, higher interest rates on savings accounts, and lower interest rates on loans.
  • Membership Requirements: To join a credit union, individuals must meet specific membership requirements, such as living or working in a particular area or being affiliated with a certain organization.

Credit unions offer generally lower overdraft fees and more favorable terms on personal finance products like loans and credit cards.

Banks
  • Ownership: Banks are for-profit institutions owned by shareholders or investors, whose primary goal is to generate profits.
  • Commercial Structure: Banks operate as commercial entities, with a primary focus on maximizing profits for their shareholders.
  • Wider Customer Base: Banks cater to a broader customer base, including individuals, businesses, and organizations.

While both credit unions and banks provide banking services such as checking and savings accounts, loans, and other financial products, credit unions typically offer more favorable rates and fees to their members due to their not-for-profit structure and member-focused approach.
