Avoid Higher Credit Card Interest Rates Switch to a Members Credit Union Visa
Credit card companies are raising interest rates on their credit cards across the board because of recent legislation that will curtail their ability to raise rates in 2010. Consumers with excellent payment history and credit ratings are seeing their low rates (many below 10% APR) being raised to over 20% APR. Switch to a MCU Visa today! We offer Visa Classic or Visa Platinum, your choice. |

Credit Unions: Safe. Secure. Always. If your money is in one of America's credit unions, it is in one of the safest financial institutions around. "Our credit union has not been plagued with high delinquencies and eroding capital," said MCU President Kathy Chartier." That's because our first concern has always been the well-being of our members, not stockholders. We have never engaged in high-risk loans that would jeopardize the safety and soundness of our institution. We actually have higher capital than the average bank."
The reason is simple ... credit unions are cooperatives, owned by the members that use them. Their board of directors are members which makes them keenly aware of the importance of acting in a prudent manner when enacting policies. Credit unions set their pricing and product offerings based on what's best for the members and the health of their organizations. Plus all accounts are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government, effective 10-3-08 with the passage of the bail out legislation. Find out more by visiting NCUA and the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).
