For many new members, managing money can feel overwhelming. You may have concerns about trusting a financial institution with your hard-earned money. However, keeping your money in a credit union is one of the safest and smartest financial decisions you can make.
Why Banking at Compass Community Credit Union Is a Smart Choice
- Your money is protected: Credit unions are federally insured, so your money is protected. The National Credit Union Administration Share Insurance Fund insures credit unions—covering account balances up to $250,000. Plus, Compass provides additional private insurance from American Share Insurance so your account balances are insured up to $1,250,000.
- Your information is confidential and secure: We understand that many worry about the risk of personal information that could be exposed. It’s important to know that your money and personal information are protected by strict privacy laws. Compass will not share information with outside vendors.
- Cash can be risky: When using cash, there is a risk of theft, loss, and physical damage. Cash is untraceable, so once it’s gone, it’s gone. At a credit union, your money is protected with the latest security technology and safeguarded against theft.
- Boost your financial profile: Keeping money in a credit union account helps you build a financial history, which can make it easier to qualify for loans to buy a car, go to college, qualify for a credit card—or even secure housing.
