Better Rates
Credit unions by nature are non-profit organizations. This status allows them to give their earnings back to their members. They do so in the form of higher returns on savings and investments as well as lower fees. Planning to apply for auto loans or mortgage or a personal loans? You can enjoy lower rates in the credit union. It is something you can’t find in a typical bank.
Member satisfaction is our top priority
As a member, your satisfaction is the highest priority in a credit union. And this is something that shows in several reports and surveys. Credit unions often outscore traditional banks when it comes to customer satisfaction. It is because their services are exceptional. It reflects in the courtesy and helpfulness of their staff.

Your money is in good hands in a credit union
People often hesitate to put their money in a credit union because they fear that it is not secured. But this belief is far from reality because credit unions are insured. Our accounts are insured by the NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund) from NCUA and up to $250,000.
It all boils down to one thing – credit unions are better. Credit union membership is something you shouldn’t miss. A credit union is a place where their members’ needs come first. And if you are interested in becoming a CityMark Federal Credit Union member now, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
You are an owner
Deposit money into a credit union savings account, and you become both a member and an owner. While other financial institutions pay profits to outside stockholders, credit unions return their net earnings to their own member-owners through high dividends (interest) on savings and low rates on loans. This collaborative arrangement is unique to credit unions and has been a core part of their operation for hundreds of years.
At CityMark Federal Credit Union, policy and decisions are made by member-owners just like you. Our Board of Directors sets policy while our Supervisory Committee oversees all aspects of CityMark Federal Credit Union’s operations and provides guidance to CityMark’s friendly staff. Both the board members and the internal committee members are unpaid volunteers who have a personal interest in the Credit Union’s success because they are also member-owners.
