WyHy vs. Traditional Banks: Key Differences
Wondering how credit unions stack up against banks? Let’s take a look at the key differences between WyHy and traditional banks:
- Who Owns WyHy? 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.
- Fee Comparison: 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.
- Community Involvement: Credit unions are often more engaged in local communities through charitable initiatives, sponsorships, and financial education, while banks prioritize profit maximization.
