The Florida Credit Union League is a Tallahassee, Florida-based statewide trade association offering myriad services focused on meeting the current and future needs of Florida's credit unions.  This section of our website is dedicated to educating consumers on the benefits and value of being a member of a credit union. 

 

The biggest difference between credit unions and other financial institutions is that the members are the owners.  The benefits of ownership are returned to the member in the form of lower loan rates, higher dividends on savings and personal service. Credit unions exist solely for the purpose of meeting the financial needs of their member-owners.  Credit unions are based on a one-member, one-vote structure, thus giving members the power to direct credit union policy in an effort to meet member needs.
