The cure is UBI Federal Credit Union. You see, we aren’t your traditional financial institution. We’re not-for profit, which means we aren’t in it for the money. We’re here to help our members, which is what we call our customers. We still do the traditional banking things like saving/checking accounts, all types of loans, including student loans, mortgages, debit & credit cards and more, but instead of distributing our profits to shareholders, we put the money back into the credit union in the form of lower fees and better rates. We’re local. We’ve been in your neighborhood since 1951.
Myth #1: You must meet strict eligibility requirements.

Fact: While credit unions do require that members meet certain requirements to satisfy a common bond, many of these are broad, and few of them truly limit membership. For example, to open an account at UBI Federal Credit Union, just lust need to live, work, worship or go to school in Hartford County.
Myth#2: Getting to the ATM is difficult because my branch isn’t nearby.

Fact: UBI Federal Credit Union partners with the Allpoint Network, which has approx. 65,000 ATMs available worldwide, meaning availability is not an issue.
Myth#3: Changing my banking from a traditional bank to a credit union will be a hassle.

Fact: Credit unions offer the same services as banks, including automatic bill payments and direct deposit. Most services will transition easily and go uninterrupted.
Myth#4: With all the fancy advertising, banks must have more money than credit unions.

Fact: While this may be true, it’s because credit unions are not-for-profit organizations. Rather than spend money on advertising and marketing, credit unions rely on the community for marketing. The money saved is distributed back to members as dividends & better rates, as well as rolled back into services for members.
Fact: Many credit unions do offer reward programs on credit and debit cards. For those that don’t, take a look at the fees that are associated with the various accounts. At a credit union, you’ll save on fees. Do your bank rewards outweigh the fees you’re paying on each account?
