Membership Benefits

  • The SIU Credit Union Difference

    What makes us different

    SIU Credit Union is a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution where you’re the boss. The directives that guide SIU Credit Union come from members like you—not from some Board of Directors across the country. We’re locally-owned and have served the needs of southern Illinois for over 80 years.

    While banks are trying to maximize their profits, our earnings are returned to the membership in the form of additional services, higher dividends on savings, and lower loan rates. And remember— once a member always a member; once you join, you can be a member of SIU Credit Union for life.

    8 Quick Facts About SIU Credit Union

    1. Not for profit.
    2. Earnings are returned to members through services like free ATMs*, better rates, and lower fees.
    3. Insured by NCUA up to $250,000
    4. Credit unions are democratically governed, and elections are based on a one-member, one-vote philosophy.
    5. More than 80,000+ surcharge-free* ATMs.
    6. Credit unions are local, community based financial institutions. Members support their local communities when banking at a credit union.
    7. Credit unions have members, not shareholders.
    8. Board consists of unpaid volunteers.

    • Air Evac is committed to providing increased access to emergency trauma care to rural Americans. In a life- or limb-threatening medical emergency, a successful patient recovery often depends on the amount of time it takes to deliver that patient to the emergency room.

      Approximately 90% of Air Evac’s patient transports originate from a rural area as defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Air Evac Lifeteam believes that those who choose a rural way of life should have the same benefits when it comes to emergency care as those who choose to live in a metropolitan community.
