The Credit Union Difference

Wainwright Credit Union is a member-owned financial institution where members vote for the board of directors and enjoy the benefits of profit sharing. To become a member, individuals must purchase common shares; as a result, the member gets to share in the profit. Wainwright Credit Union returned $1,057,500. to its members October 31, 2007. This included a 5.5% common share dividend, a loan interest rebate of 4% and a deposit interest bonus of 4% on the 2006-2007 year.
