Members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) have the opportunity to better meet their financial goals with the only credit union designed to meet the unique needs of REALTORS®. Since the August 2012 merger of REALTORS® Federal Credit Union with Northwest Federal Credit Union, REALTORS® gained greater access to service centers, financial loans, banking services and much more.
Federal credit unions are not-for-profit cooperative financial institutions, owned and operated by their members. Through the use of volunteer boards and member ownership, credit unions are able to provide highly competitive loan rates, savings rates and fewer fees than other lending institutions.
Credit Union membership provides another way for REALTORS® to support the REALTOR® family—Credit Union earnings can be returned to account holders who are fellow REALTORS®.
