Protect UMe’s Credit Union Advantage: It’s All About U
At UMe Credit Union, U always come first. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we’re all about better rates, lower fees, and real savings—so U can do more with your money.
🧡 Lower loan rates
❤️ Higher savings yields
💜 Fewer and lower fees
❤️ Personalized, friendly service
We’re not driven by Wall Street profits—we’re driven by U. That’s why every dollar we make goes back into providing U with better financial products, more perks, and the kind of personal service big banks just can’t match.
Why This Matters
Right now, Congress is considering changes that could put credit unions—and the benefits U enjoy—at risk. Leaders in Congress are meeting to determine how to pay for the extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), and taxing credit unions is on the table.
This would directly impact U, our members. It could mean higher loan rates, fewer savings perks, and more fees—taking away what makes UMe and other credit unions different.
Credit unions have been putting people over profits since 1934, founded on the philosophy of “people helping people.” This commitment allows us to provide affordable credit, encourage financial wellness, and strengthen our communities. U can help preserve what makes credit unions special!
Losing tax exemption means:
🚫 Higher loan rates
🚫 Lower savings returns
🚫 More and higher fees
🚫 Fewer resources to support our Burbank comm-U-nity
