Champion Credit Union Notre Dame Academy Information

Champion Credit Union
began locally almost 70 years
ago to serve the employees
of the Champion Spark
Plug Company. They have
remained locally focused and
now serve the financial needs
of individuals who live, work,
worship, or attend school
in Lucas County, including
Sylvania and Sylvania
Township. The credit union
also serves the employees/
group members of over 140
local select groups.
Champion Credit Union
has three full service loca-
tions to serve members:

 7525 Sylvania Avenue,
Sylvania
The credit union has
grown to a full service insti-
tution serving the communi-
ties they impact with office
locations. CCU offers com-
petitive rate loans for any
worthwhile purpose, check-
ing with No Monthly Service
Fee and two boxes of club
checks free each year, sav-
ings accounts, Individual
Retirement Accounts
(IRA’s), share certificates,
life savings and loan protec-
tion insurance, outstanding
personal service, and much
it union. Virtual Branch,
Mobile Money, eStatements,
and Virtual Loan allow mem-
bers to get account informa-
tion or apply for a loan day
or night.
Champion Credit Union
has always followed the
credit union philosophy of
“People Helping People”
with their involvement in
the community. Children’s
Miracle Network, The Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation, Family
House Shelter, and local
school systems are just a few
of those supported by the
credit union.

Consumers may want to ‘bank’ on credit unions

Banks are not the sole option
individuals have for saving and
investing money or securing a
loan. Credit unions offer many
of the same services and may
be a better fit for some people.
Low interest rates and sub-
par service is leading many
consumers to re-evaluate their
banking needs. Some people
are no longer enamored with
their banks and may be looking
for a change, be it a byprod-
uct of higher fees or penalties
instituted by banks looking to
protect themselves in a poor
financial economy. Instead of
choosing the bank next door,
individuals may want to check
out a neighborhood credit union
instead.
Credit unions differ from
banks in a few ways. First and
foremost, they are member-
owned. That means that each

member has a stake in the credit
union. Secondly, credit unions
are not-for-profit organizations.
This is why many of them of-
fer more competitive interest
rates than banks. Credit unions
also limit membership based
on certain criteria, which may
be an affiliation to a particular
group or additional geographic
restrictions. Credit unions are
also exempt from most state
and federal taxes because of
their not-for-profit and collab-
orative status.
While credit unions may dif-
fer from banks in these respects,
they do have some similarities.
Credit unions insure money
deposited up to $250,000 just
like banks. But instead of being
backed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, credit
unions are backed by the Na-

them, signifying they
are the last fifth-grade
tration -- another government
agency. Credit unions offer
traditional accounts, such as
savings and checking accounts.
They also issue credit cards
and loans. These accounts and
loans may have better inter-
est rates, and generally credit
unions charge fewer fees than
banks.
Some credit unions have a
very broad acceptance policy
(you simply need to live in a
particular town) or very specif-
ic policies (you need to be em-
ployed by a certain company).
However, most people inter-
ested in a credit union scenario
can find one or more that will
accept them based on a range of
criteria. Finding a credit union
may be as simple as asking an
employer if they are affiliated
with a credit union.
