THANK YOU

#1

Financial Institution

Thank you to everyone who voted for us this year! We love serving you!

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER: 1. Live or work in Jasper County or 18 other counties in Central Iowa.

2. Be a family member of an existing member, regardless of where you live.

THAT SIMPLE!

What’s the difference between a credit union and a bank?

Credit Unions are locally owned and don’t have outside stockholders that keep the profits. Our members own the credit union! We are not-for-profit and return our profits back to our members in the form of higher deposit rates and lower interest rates on loans.

Day-to-day banking operations with credit unions are the same as banks. We offer nearly identical services to banks (just with better rates). This includes free checking, free bill pay, and mobile check deposit.

Plus, we also have all the other deposit accounts you’re looking for like IRA’s, certificates, money markets, Christmas/vacation clubs and health savings accounts.

We invite you to come in and see why you’ll love being a credit union member!

THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU! STOP BY OUR OFFICE ANYTIME DURING BUSINESS HOURS OR APPLY ONLINE AT ACUIOWA.ORG SM-NE5185092-1025
