How WyHy Compares to Traditional Banks
Credit unions like WyHy offer distinct advantages over traditional banks. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
- Who Owns WyHy? Credit unions are member-owned, meaning profits are returned to members in the form of better rates and services. Banks are shareholder-owned, meaning profits are distributed to stockholders, not customers.
- Fees: Credit unions tend to have lower fees for services like checking accounts, ATM withdrawals, and overdrafts, while banks may charge higher fees and penalties.
- Better Service: Credit unions typically provide more personalized customer service, focusing on building long-term relationships with members. Banks, on the other hand, can be more transactional in nature due to their size and business model.
- Support for Local Communities: WyHy is committed to making a difference in our local community through various charitable initiatives, something larger banks may not prioritize.
