Book Description

This quarterly guide is the ideal resource for accurate, unbiased ratings and data to help citizens across the United States choose a credit union for themselves, their families, their companies, or their clients. Credit unions provide a viable and sometimes preferable alternative to banks across the nation, with lower interest rates on loans and higher returns on savings accounts. Additionally, credit unions enjoy nonprofit status and are governed by depositors, giving members more of a say in their institution's operation. Many U.S. consumers remain unaware of the benefits of credit unions over banks; luckily, Weiss Ratings' Guide to Credit Unions is here to help users select the right credit union for them. Grey House's Financial Ratings Series combines the strength of Weiss Ratings and TheStreet Ratings to offer the public a single, comprehensive source for financial strength ratings and financial planning tools. From health insurers to banks and credit unions to stocks and mutual funds, the Financial Ratings Series provides accurate, independent information that consumers need to make informed financial decisions. All of Weiss Ratings' Guides are published quarterly, utilize a clear-cut A-to-F rating system (similar to school grading systems), and contain more complete, up-to-date ratings than any of their competitors. This Spring 2016 edition of Weiss Ratings' Guide to Credit Unions features ratings and analyses of over 7,800 credit unions in the United States. Many of these companies are not rated anywhere else.
