A top 10 of credit union benefits from millennials

by. Bill Prichard

A key feature of the “Empowering People. Amplifying Dreams” campaign website is the “People Like Us” section. Here, Millennials tell their peers about the benefits of credit union membership based on their own experience. We’ve published eight stories to-date, with more on the way. Here’s a “Top 10” of credit union benefits, from the vantage-point of the Millennials we have interviewed:

1. A great place to start building credit. Several of the young people we spoke to felt particular gratitude to their credit union for helping them establish a good credit history. This includes more than just receiving a piece of plastic – they also received good advice on the responsibility that comes with credit.

2. A resource for fulfilling dreams. Whether it’s buying a car or home, traveling, or building a business, it’s a fact – credit unions help Millennials fulfill their dreams.

3. A resource for financial advice and an eagerness to help. Repeatedly, we heard that credit unions are a great source for financial advice. And, the help is proactive. As one person said, the staff “Knows things I need, even before I do.”
