In addition, GoWest Credit Union Association conducted an analysis of credit unions’ community impacts in each state. Credit unions’ not-for-profit, cooperative structure, local footprint, and community engagement drive a unique impact that benefits the economy and provides people with tangible financial services and benefits they might not otherwise have access to.
