You’re More Than a Member — You’re an Owner
Member Ownership Share | Effective 3/31
At Rockland Federal Credit Union, membership means ownership.
Credit unions are financial cooperatives. Every credit union member has a voice, a vote, and a share in the success of the organization. Earnings are reinvested to provide better interest rates, lower fees, improved technology, and stronger service. That’s the credit union difference.
To reinforce that ownership, Rockland Federal Credit Union will establish a $1 Member Ownership Share for all credit union members. This account represents your ownership in Rockland Federal Credit Union. It is a small amount with a meaningful purpose.
Your ownership share represents:
- Your ability to vote at annual meetings
- Your voice in the direction of the credit union
- Your place in a financial institution built around people, not profits
What you should know:
- The share will appear on your statements and in online banking
- The account is non-transactional and additional shares cannot be purchased
- Rockland Federal Credit Union will automatically fund the $1 share
- No action is required from you
- Your existing credit union accounts will not be affected
This share serves as a reminder that membership at RFCU is different. It reflects the role our members play in shaping the future of the credit union.
Thank you for being an owner of Rockland Federal Credit Union!
