What is the difference between a Federal Credit Union and a regular bank?

Your credit union is owned by you and the other members. By opening an account with us, you become a member, not just a customer. You become eligible to run for a position on the Board of Directors and vote for candidates for positions on the Board of Directors. Also, to become a member of VASCO Federal Credit Union you must qualify for membership. Not everyone qualifies for membership.

Why is it more advantageous to use a credit union?

Because of our limited field of membership, we can offer better rates on savings and loans. We also tend to charge lower fees than our competition. Being a member also allows you to take an active role in how the credit union operates. We provide an additional option in meeting your banking needs.
