What Makes a Credit Union?

Simply put, a credit union is a group of people pooling their money—not to make someone a profit, but to help each other out. It’s a not-for-profit financial cooperative that looks a lot like a bank but acts a lot differently. Instead of pocketing profits, we return them to our members in the form of higher yields and lower fees and loan rates.

Why Choose a Credit Union Over a Bank?

The Benefits Really Add Up:

Overlooked vs. Partnership

Banks are for-profit institutions where their shareholders are the priority. Credit Unions are member-owned non-profits where you have a voice and a vote.

Impersonal vs. Personalized

Banks often treat you like just another account number. Credit Unions focus on customer service that understands and empowers members.

Restrictive vs. Rewarding

Banks offer the same standard services, high rates and tools to all customers. Credit Unions offer the same core services PLUS specialized programs, deals and incentives that fuel your financial goals.

Why You Belong at First Eagle

You like the idea of saving money on financial services, don’t you? Or how about getting all the perks you’d find at a big bank, but with personalized service from friendly people who actually pick up the phone? We bet that’s a “yes!”—and this is where it happens.

At First Eagle, you’ll enjoy better rates on loans, better yields on savings, and better service. Plus, you’ll get all the innovative, digital solutions the old-school traditional banks have and so much more. (And the fact that we put you before profits is a really big deal!)
