For over a century, America’s credit unions have made a difference in underserved communities across the country by providing critical financial services to people banks overlook. Nearly 50% of credit unions have a specific focus on serving low-income communities—providing affordable interest loans, higher savings yields, and lower fees. America’s credit unions create competition in underserved communities forcing other financial institutions to offer more services at better prices to customers. Over the last ten years credit unions have increased the number of branches, while other financial institutions have repeatedly closed branches turning more areas into banking deserts. Credit unions are restricted by their Field of Membership (FOM), which is often one of the major barriers to providing consumers with high-quality financial services, talk with your local credit union association to see how legislative adjustments can help serve more people.
