Workers Credit Union GiveBack: Sharing Success

SPONSORED CONTENT --

What would you do if your bank wanted to give you money just for doing business with them? Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? What if I told you a credit union based out of North Central Massachusetts has been doing that for the past 4 years.

Workers Credit Union once again rewarded their members for doing business with them by paying out an astounding $3.3 Million. This is the fourth year in a row that Workers Credit Union has rewarded their members just for banking at the community-based credit union.

Each member is given a deposit based on their deposit account balances, including checking and savings accounts, and loan balances, such as auto loans or mortgage loans during 2016. The Board of Directors determines each year if there will be a payout based on how well the credit union performs.

Who is eligible for this amazing program?

Literally, all you have to do is be a member with an eligible account. The process is simple. If you live or work in Massachusetts you are already halfway there. To become a member you simply need to open a Share Savings Account. That’s it!
