TELL CONGRESS—DON’T TAX MY CREDIT UNION!

As a member of Woodstone Credit Union, you enjoy the benefits of being part of a not­for-profit financial cooperative.

We exist solely to improve the lives of our members, just like you. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we don't have stockholders. This means that as a member, YOU are an owner. And as a member-owner, you get lower fees, better rates and an equal vote to elect our Board of Directors. We can do that because our emphasis is on providing financial services to you at reasonable costs and returns - not by amassing profits from them.

By making financial services more affordable, Woodstone Credit Union helps you reach your goals and improve your financial well­being. You might say a bank uses people to make money—but Woodstone Credit Union uses money to help people. That's the fundamental difference between credit unions and banks. Banks return their profits to a small group of stockholders. Woodstone Credit Union returns our profits to you, our member.

We hope you enjoy all the benefits that membership at Woodstone Credit Union has to offer. But did you know that those benefits are under attack? There is legislation pending that may alter the federal income tax exemption status of credit unions right now in Congress.

If the savings and service you enjoy at Woodstone Credit Union is important to you, please take a moment to ask Congress to preserve credit unions' tax status.
