Why do I have to qualify for membership?

Credit unions are restricted to serving members who meet specific eligibility criteria due to their nonprofit, cooperative nature. This targeted approach fosters a sense of community, enabling credit unions to offer tailored services and competitive rates to a specific, cohesive membership group.
