What is a credit union?
Simply put, a credit union is a group of people pooling their money not to make someone a profit but to help each other out. It’s a not-for-profit financial cooperative that looks a lot like a bank but acts a lot differently. Instead of pocketing profits, we return them to our members in the form of higher yields and lower fees and loan rates.
Who is First Eagle?
Way back in 1956, we set off helping our members make life better with low-cost, high-value financial services. Today, our field of membership, or who we can serve, includes all U.S. employees of American General Companies, Zurich American Insurance Company, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital & MedStar National Rehabilitation Network (NRN) – and several SEGs (Select Employee Groups).
