Why We Do What We Do: Credit Union Philosophy
Isabella Community Credit Union has always looked out for the best interest of its member-owners.
This is done in many ways, like all cooperatives by turning the "profits" of the credit union back to
its members in the form of lower fees and service charges, and competitive interest rates.
In addition, a full range of financial services, using many of the latest technologies, is made available
at little or no cost to ICCU members. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, ICCU is in business
only for its members, the shareholders of the corporation. As a result, ICCU members receive some
of the best service, rates, and products available - at the lowest cost.
In true credit union fashion, ICCU led the way to bring FREE checking to Mount Pleasant area.
With great rates, low fees, and a full range of financial services, including free Internet account access,
and online bill payment, it is easy to understand why Isabella Community Credit Union employees
believes the smartest consumers are credit union members!
