Credit union members with low credit scores should consider the advantages of a credit-builder loan where they are available. Compare your options when searching for the best loan and always make payments on time. One of many objectives, according to Michelle Dosher, CUNA managing editor, is to enable members in this financial situation "to have a relationship with the credit union and eventually qualify for a mortgage or an auto loan"

Credit unions save members money because of their not-for-profit co-operative nature. Credit unions report to members, which means they share their earnings with them via surcharge-free ATMs, better loan rates, lower fees, etc. Furthermore, credit unions offer their members dividends into the financial institution. CUNA estimates credit union members save an average of $72 a year compared to banks.
