We replace it for free.
Why WSECU, anyway?
What’s the difference between a bank and a credit union? Banks are owned by shareholders; credit unions are owned by their members. So instead of profiting stockholders, WSECU reinvests 4% of our net income into our communities. The rest goes back into the credit union. You get better rates, fewer fees and great service. What’s not to like?
