Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. At NCACU, we’re in business to serve you, our members, not make a profit. Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions do not pay outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to you in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower fees. We’ll save you time and money on ALL your financial needs.
An example of economic democracy, each member has equal ownership – regardless of how much money is on deposit. At NCACU, you’re both a member and an owner! Our people helping people philosophy also encourages our involvement in the community and many worthwhile charitable causes.
