The Credit Union is not a county agency. We are a "not-for-profit" financial cooperative owned by our members. To maintain your membership, you must keep at least $5.00 on deposit at all times in the Regular Share Savings. All income generated within the Credit Union, less operating expenses and federal reserve requirements, is returned to members in the form of service benefits and dividends.

Rates and general operating policies are established by the Board of Directors. Board members are elected to serve a three year term by the membership at the Annual Meeting. The regulation of Credit Union policies is conducted by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and all accounts are insured up to $100,000 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
