Community development credit unions (CDCUs) are nonprofit, community-based financial cooperatives. They offer affordable savings and checking accounts; personal, business and home loans; free financial counseling and more. As a CDCU member, you have a voice and a vote — members elect the board of directors, as well as credit and supervisory committees.
