CU Difference:
Post Office CU returns more than $1.4 million to members
Post Office Credit Union members have collectively been paid more than
$1.4 million thanks to the credit union’s
4% bonus dividend and loan interest rebate to members. This is the 14th
consecutive year that the credit union has been able to provide such a
rebate to its members. Credit unions have the ability to give back to
their members in this manner – something unheard of at profit driven banks
– because credit unions are member-owned
cooperatives.
