10 Reasons to Switch to Southland Credit Union

Because there are no shareholders to keep happy, credit unions are typically able to offer better rates and lower fees.

In fact, credit unions are known to offer higher rates on savings and certificates—and much lower rates on loans. That's because all profits come back to the members—not to a board of directors.

If you still do your banking with a traditional big bank, here are 10 reasons to consider switching to Southland Credit Union. 

 

1.) More than 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs
