+ What is a Credit Union?
A credit union is a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution owned and controlled by its members. Credit Unions were created by Congress in 1934. Mid-Island FCU was founded in 1981.+ What is the difference between a Credit Union and a Bank?
A Credit Union is a not-for-profit cooperative owned by its members, run by a volunteer board of directors where members have a vote - your opinion matters. A bank is a for profit financial institution owned by its stock holders, run by a paid board of directors. With a bank, profits go to the stockholders.
