Credit Unions, Banks & Investing

Invest online

Be careful: investments can lose money. The Village gives no investment advice. Check fees on each provider's site.

Bank, credit union, brokerage or crypto exchange — what's the difference?
Bank
A company that holds deposits and makes loans. Many are FDIC-insured — check with FDIC BankFind.
Credit union
A member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. You join to use it. Many are NCUA-insured — check MyCreditUnion.gov.
Brokerage
A company that lets you buy and sell investments such as stocks and funds. Investments can lose value.
Crypto exchange
A company that lets you buy and sell cryptocurrency. Crypto is not a bank deposit and can lose value quickly.

Directory only. The Village gives no financial advice, does not open accounts, sign you in, move money or link accounts, and does not recommend any institution. Rates, fees and deposit insurance: check with the institution.

Looking around creates no account and saves nothing. Hours, stock and prices change — check each place.
