Comparison to Traditional Banks
Credit unions like WyHy offer distinct advantages over traditional banks. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
- Credit Unions vs. Banks: Ownership Differences: Credit unions are member-owned, meaning profits are returned to members in the form of better rates and services. Banks are shareholder-owned, meaning profits are distributed to stockholders, not customers.
- Lower Fees: WyHy offers lower fees for services like checking accounts and ATM withdrawals compared to traditional banks, which often charge higher fees.
- Customer Service: Credit unions typically provide more personalized customer service, focusing on building long-term relationships with members. Banks, on the other hand, can be more transactional in nature due to their size and business model.
- Support for Local Communities: Credit unions are often more engaged in local communities through charitable initiatives, sponsorships, and financial education, while banks prioritize profit maximization.
Community-Focused Initiatives
WyHy takes pride in being part of the community. Here are some ways we give back:
- Financial Literacy Support: Our financial literacy workshops and resources are available to help you and the community make smarter financial choices.
- Community Giving: WyHy is proud to contribute to local causes, supporting nonprofits and initiatives that make a difference.
- Partnerships with Local Businesses: WyHy partners with local businesses to offer financial services that support growth and development.
- Giving Back with Volunteerism: WyHy employees dedicate time to volunteer at events that make a real impact in our community.
