Credit unions offer many of the same financial services as banks, but they often use different terminology. Typical services include stock accounts (savings accounts), stock market accounts (current accounts), credit cards, stock certificates (deposit certificates), and online banking. Generally, only a member of a credit union can deposit or borrow money.
Surveys of bank and credit union customers have consistently shown significantly higher satisfaction rates with the quality of service provided by credit unions. In the past, credit unions have claimed to provide excellent service to members and are committed to helping members improve their financial situation. As part of financial inclusion, credit unions claim to offer their members a wider range of savings and credit products at a much lower cost than most microfinance institutions.
