What is a Credit Union?

Dort Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative whose mission is to open doors to our members by providing quality financial services. Each member owns one share of the cooperative, represented by the initial deposit made to a primary savings account. Unlike other financial institutions, credit union ‘profits’ are returned to the membership in the form of lower loan rates, higher dividend rates, and affordable services.

Becoming a Member
It's easy to join – you start by making a deposit to your Primary Savings Account. This initial deposit represents your membership and your “share” of ownership in the cooperative. As such, it can only be withdrawn if the account is closed. There is a nominal New Account Opening Charge, however you can earn this money back if you are approved for additional Credit Union services.
