Your Street, Not Wall Street:
The Difference Between Credit Union v. Big Banks

As a member of Red Rocks Credit Union, you belong to something bigger than just a checking account. You’re part of a movement that’s rewriting what money can mean: trust, fairness, and shared growth.

Red Rocks Credit Union

  • You’re a member-owner, not a customer
  • Not-for-profit: earnings go back to members
  • Lower fees and better interest rates
  • Local decisions made by people who know your community
  • Personalized support (no sales quotas here)
  • Built to serve, not to sell

Big Banks

  • You’re a customer (so the bank comes first)
  • Profits go to shareholders, not you
  • Higher fees, less competitive rates
  • Centralized decisions made out of state
  • Products pushed to meet sales goals
  • Focused on scale, not local support

Our Members Say It Best

We just opened up a few accounts for the kids as starter accounts and we were pleasantly surprised to learn how much higher the interest rates are for some of the savings accounts. Briana was great to work with and was most helpful with showing my kids how to set up the mobile app on their phones and how to get started. She was able to quickly and efficiently answer all our questions and provide additional information about the credit union that I was not aware of. I wish we had looked into this credit Union a lot sooner. We will be transferring all of our current banking accounts here based on the much higher interest rates for savings and no/low fees compared to our current bank.

My parents opened my first account with me at Red Rocks when I was 12 yrs old. I still have it to this day. My mom also still has her account as it was opened by my father through their previous partnership with Lockheed Martin over 40 years ago. They are a staple in the community and really go the extra mile to engage with their account holders. Their efforts can be seen in their customer service. When you call you speak to a real person, not an automated service. Folks like Tyrell, one of the Red Rocks member advocates, will do their best to answer every question and provide every option for service. I admire the hands on approach they take and will continue to use Red Rocks well into the future. I recommend them to everyone.

MTIF was created to enrich lives™ by supporting mental health, veteran services, and housing stability initiatives.

Joining is simple. You can apply online in just a few minutes or stop by one of our branches!

Is Red Rocks Credit Union insured?

Yes. Your deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This protection is similar to the FDIC coverage banks offer, giving you peace of mind that your money is safe.

What are the benefits of membership?

  • Fewer and lower fees.
  • Local decision-making and personal service from people who live and work in your community.

How is a credit union different from a bank?

Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. Instead of paying profits to shareholders, we reinvest earnings back into our members through better rates, fewer fees, and community support. When you join Red Rocks CU, you’re not a customer. You’re an owner.

What digital and branch access do I have as a member?
