Introduction

The Lobby — The Credit Union Difference Made Clear

A talking QR code in the credit union lobby plays the cooperative model story — what being a member-owner rather than a bank customer involves in terms of the specific governance rights, the profit-sharing through dividends and lower rates, and the specific financial product advantages that the cooperative model's not-for-profit structure produces, what the credit union's specific field of membership involves and what makes the membership community the institution serves the specific population that the credit union was founded to support, and what the member who has been banking with this credit union for thirty years says about the specific financial difference the cooperative relationship has produced over the decades. A new member who receives this cooperative model story understands they have joined an institution rather than opened an account.

Member Benefits — The Advantage of Ownership

A talking QR code on credit union member benefit materials plays the ownership advantage story — what the specific rate advantages the credit union's not-for-profit structure produces in terms of the higher savings rates, the lower loan rates, and the reduced fee structure relative to bank alternatives, what the specific member services that go beyond the transactional banking relationship involve including the financial counseling, the student loan programs, and the specific member assistance programs that the credit union's community mission makes possible, and what the member benefit calculation looks like for the specific member who has been capturing the rate advantage across their savings, their auto loan, and their mortgage for the past five years. A credit union member who receives this benefit story understands the specific financial advantage their membership provides in dollar terms that the cooperative structure makes possible.

Community Mission — The Institution That Invests in Its Members

A talking QR code on credit union community materials plays the mission story — what the credit union's specific community investment involves in terms of the financial education programs, the small dollar loan programs that serve members who would otherwise turn to predatory lenders, and the specific community development projects the credit union funds with the profits that a bank would return to shareholders, and what the credit union's founding mission involves and how it has shaped the institution's specific approach to member service through the decades since the founder saw the financial need the cooperative was built to address. A community member who receives this mission story supports the credit union with the specific civic investment that the cooperative model's community benefit deserves.
