Revenue model

1. Interest Income: The primary revenue stream for the credit union is interest earned on loans including mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, home equity loans, and credit cards. As a not-for-profit cooperative, interest collected from borrowers benefits members through lower rates and higher dividends.
2. Fee Income: Various fees including monthly maintenance fees for certain accounts, transaction fees (e.g., $0.20 per item over threshold for business checking), balance transfer fees (3% or $10), cash advance fees (3% or $10), ATM fees for non-network usage, and overdraft/insufficient funds fees.
3. Interchange Revenue: Revenue generated from debit and credit card transactions when merchants pay interchange fees for processing card payments.
4. Service Charges: Charges for services such as official/certified checks, wire transfers, stop payments, and other account services.
