What is a credit union?
A credit union is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution organized to provide credit to members. It is member-owned and controlled through a volunteer board of directors elected by the membership. The board also establishes and revises policy, sets dividend and loan rates, and directs certain operations. The result: members are provided with a safe, convenient place to save and borrow at reasonable rates at an institution which exists to benefit them, not to make a profit.
Each credit union member owns one "share" of the organization. The user of credit union services is also an owner, and is even entitled to vote on important issues, such as the election of member representatives to serve on the board of directors.

“IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT"
To help the government fight the funding of terrorist and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.”

If I am traveling, should I contact you if I plan to use my debit card?
It is always a good idea to let Valley Communities Credit Union know if you plan to use your debit card while traveling to another state. This helps us determine if a charge looks fraudulent.
