credit union loan

Member-based borrowing

A credit union loan is money borrowed from a credit union—a nonprofit financial cooperative owned by its members.

Because credit unions return profits to members rather than shareholders, their loans typically carry lower interest rates than those from commercial banks: We got a better rate on our credit union loan than any bank offered.
