Philosophy and Structure

Credit unions are democratically owned and controlled institutions based on a "people-helping-people", "Ohana" principle. Our board of director is elected by you our members; each member has an equal vote, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit with us. Only members may serve as directors, and directors serve without compensation. Credit unions have no outside stockholders, so after reserves are set aside, earnings are returned to members in the form of higher dividends on savings, lower loan rates and lower cost services.
