About Credit Unions
A credit union is a member-owned financial cooperative between people who share a common bond, such as an employer, association, or community group. They join together in a not-for-profit organization for the purpose of doing business with one another. Credit unions are usually able to offer higher dividends on savings and lower rates on loans and other services than other financial institutions may be able to do because credit union financial return is used for the benefit of the membership.
As a cooperative, Telhio members are owners and expect to receive high-quality financial services to meet all of their needs. Members are represented not by shareholders, but by an elected Board of Directors who serve on a voluntary, non-compensated basis.
