Employees Eligible for Credit Union Membership
Employees at Northwestern Health Sciences University qualify for membership at the Richfield Bloomington Credit Union, as the University is part of RBCU’s longstanding Select Employees Group.
Like federal banks, credit unions offer a wide array of products and services, including low interest rates on personal and vehicle loans; first mortgage, home improvement and home equity loans; “better than free” checking accounts (monthly fee-free accounts in which a dividend rate is accrued on daily balances of more than $500); quarterly high interest-bearing savings accounts; IRAs; direct deposit; free bill pay; debit and ATM cards; and online access to accounts. The RBCU also has a partnership with Wells Fargo, which allows them to offer surcharge free ATM transactions at any Wells Fargo ATM.
“RBCU is co-operative and therefore is not for profit. Whatever profit we earn we return to our members,” says Andre Thibault, assistant vice president of marketing. “Our goal is to improve the quality of life of their member/owners through new services and technology, better rates on accounts, and few and lower fees.”
RBCU also offers more personal attention to its members, as its 13,000-person membership is smaller than that of a federal bank. In addition, membership is offered to relatives and people living in the same household with RBCU members.
RBCU has two locations: 345 East 77th St., in Richfield, and 4025 West Old Shakopee Road, in Bloomington. For more information, visit http://www.rbcu.org, call (612) 798-7100, or contact Lisa Franczak, BA, Northwestern’s benefits specialist, at lfranczak@nwhealth.edu or at ext. 170.
