Comparison to Traditional Banks
Many people wonder how credit unions like WyHy compare to traditional banks. While both offer similar financial services, there are some important differences that set credit unions apart:
- Ownership Structure: As a member-owned institution, WyHy returns profits to its members through better rates and services, unlike banks that distribute profits to shareholders.
- Fees: Credit unions, including WyHy, generally charge lower fees for services, helping you save money in the long run.
- Customer Service: Credit unions typically provide more personalized customer service, focusing on building long-term relationships with members. Banks, on the other hand, can be more transactional in nature due to their size and business model.
- Community Involvement: Credit unions are often more engaged in local communities through charitable initiatives, sponsorships, and financial education, while banks prioritize profit maximization.
