What is a Credit Union



What is a Credit Union? And who can become a member of Hudson River Community Credit Union?

Many people save their money in a credit union. These people usually have something in common, such as their place of work.

You and other members put money into savings accounts which are called Share Accounts. This money is then given to other members as a loan, where these members will pay back the loan amount plus an extra amount of money called interest. Then you and the other members will get paid extra money from the credit union for letting it use your money. The extra money that you will earn in your Share Account is called dividends.

The credit union's main purpose is to give member-owners the best banking services. Hudson River Community Credit Union thinks that it has chosen a not so impossible mission.
