Why does free sound great.
No Monthly Fees

Over five years, this could be up to $1500 dollars, money you could be saving or using for fun. SCU Credit Union offers accounts that don’t charge a monthly fee. If you frequently use ATMs, SCU Credit Union also helps you avoid those fees as well.

The Credit Union difference
Most large banks are entirely focused on driving value for their shareholders. Not a bad thing, if you are a shareholder. Credit Unions have a different purpose. Your checking account could be helping the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro South, the Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts, Friends of Sharon Library, and the South Shore Food Bank to name just a very few. Your money can do a lot more than pay bills. It can help sustain the local organizations serving our communities.
