Why choose a Credit Union?
We’ve got 100 good reasons but here are 10 to start.
You own it.
It’s about putting people before money. As a credit union member, you’re not just a member; you’re an owner. You have a vote in determining the direction of the credit union. Banks, on the other hand, exist to make a profit for shareholders, meaning they’re not motivated by the same values as credit unions.
Membership is open to all Wisconsin residents.
We believe in being a financial beacon in our community and our state. Membership at Summit is open to all who live or work in the state of Wisconsin.
Members Call The Shots
Summit is a democratically-run organization. This means that we are and will continue to be owned and controlled by you, our members.
Rates & Fees Benefit Our Members
Our rates and fees are set to allow the entire membership to participate and prosper. As with all cooperatives, Summit becomes stronger as our membership grows—the stronger we are, the more benefits we can offer. In short, every time you use a service, it’s like paying yourself.
We champion financial literacy.
Money is tied to just about everything we do. But it doesn’t have to mean it’s confusing. At Summit you can count on us uncomplicating the complicated for our members and the community through seminars, workshops, newsletters, e-newsletters and our website.
A commitment to you and your community.
We can’t achieve our mission of improving your financial power without contributing to the health, vitality and success of your community.
Once a member, always a member.
If you move out of Wisconsin, you’ll be happy knowing you’ll always be able to reap the benefits of membership.
Low minimum balances.
You don’t need a lot of money to join.
Security.
Summit has a long history of being strong and stable. Couple that with NCUA insurance through the U.S. Government and you’ve got a safe and secure place for your money.
