Credit Union Membership: A Valuable Employee Benefit
In times of rising health care costs, wouldn't it be nice to actually save your employees money? Looking for a way to increase your company's direct deposit participation?
Enhancing your benefits package with BCU provides excellent value to your employees at no cost to your company. A credit union partnership can help your company attract and retain employees. The BCU Member Development Department can assist in providing this valuable benefit to your employees and also in communicating the features of the credit union to them.
Banking's Better Here: Why Credit Unions Offer More
Credit unions are different from banks. A credit union is a not-for-profit organization that is owned by its members. This helps ensure that the credit union is operating in the best interests of your employees ... not the shareholders. Therefore, profits are returned to the members via higher-yielding deposit products, lower loan rates, and little to no fees on products and services. Compare our rates to local banks and you'll see the savings! Offering credit union membership to your employees and their families will give them an additional choice for their financial needs.
