CU Difference
The Credit Union Difference
A credit union is a not-for-profit financial organization owned and operated by its members for the benefit of all who belong. Credit unions are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by the members. The credit union concept is a simple one - members pool their savings and then make low-interest loans to each other. As not-for-profit financial service cooperatives, credit unions return earnings to their members in higher savings rates, better services, and lower borrowing rates.
M-O FCU's main purpose is to provide financial services to our members in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. We pride ourselves in the personalized service you receive at your member-owned financial institution.
