Since the first Maine credit union was formed in 1921, the focus has been on member service. Being a credit union member means that your financial institution is all about you – your needs, your dreams, your success, and your community. 2008 marks the 87th year that Maine’s credit unions have been helping people just like you to achieve their goals through unwavering support.

In Maine, there is a credit union for everyone. Each credit union member is also an owner of their credit union. This means that every Maine credit union is owned and operated by the people who live in the communities they serve. Credit unions exist to benefit their members, an advantage no other institution can offer.

Maine’s credit unions offer consumers the best values, with exceptional member service, the latest technology, lower and fewer fees, higher dividends paid on accounts and better rates on most loans. In fact, Gerard Cassidy, a noted financial expert, who also contributes his financial services expertise to CNN, Bloomberg and financial publications across the world, touted Maine credit unions in a television interview as a “great choice for consumers to receive a great value.”

From refinancing a new member’s car at a lower rate, to offering low or no interest fuel loans for those struggling in the harsh Maine winters, Maine’s credit unions provide the services members need. No matter how big or small the request, with credit unions it is always the members who matter most.
