Credit Union Staff Celebrates their Name Change
More than 600 people visited our Center City and SPP offices on October 16 to celebrate International Credit Union Day and our new name Media Members Federal Credit Union. This year's theme was “My Credit Union, It Belongs to Me”. In addition to soft pretzels and other giveaways, 14 lucky members won various gift certificates to restaurants, movies and retail stores.
Be sure to mark your calendar for Thursday, October 15, 2009 to join us for next year's celebration.
Celebrate Your Credit Union Ownership
Do you know who owns Media Members Federal Credit Union? YOU DO! And that's just one of the many things that make credit unions unique.
Credit Unions are not-for-profit, democratically controlled, volunteer-run, member-owned cooperatives. They exist to serve their members. Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower fees.
Because they are unique in both structure and purpose, credit unions provide a viable alternative to for-profit financial institutions in 96 countries. At Media Members FCU , we take pride in our heritage as a cooperative financial service provider and our connection to 49,000 credit unions worldwide.
At credit unions, every customer is both a member and an owner. Remember, you are our most valuable asset and the reason Media Members Federal Credit Union exists.

Our popular Holiday Loan will be available again this year starting on October 1, 2008 through January 31, 2009. You can borrow up to $3,000 for 24 months at a special low rate.
Why use a high interest credit card for holiday expenses when you can pay cash and get a low rate from your credit union?
Also, Holiday Club Accounts will be ready for withdrawal the week of October 13. Remember, it's never too early to start saving for next year.
Once again this year, instead of a gift, ten lucky members will win a gift certificate for a restaurant, gas, movie or shopping trip. Stop in today to sign up for the Holiday Club and to be eligible for the drawing.
