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:
- Who Owns WyHy? Credit unions are member-owned, meaning profits are returned to members in the form of better rates and services. Banks are shareholder-owned, meaning profits are distributed to stockholders, not customers.
- Lower Fees: WyHy offers lower fees for services like checking accounts and ATM withdrawals compared to traditional banks, which often charge higher fees.
- Better 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.
- WyHy’s Community Engagement: WyHy is committed to making a difference in our local community through various charitable initiatives, something larger banks may not prioritize.
