One of the most important decisions you make is who you trust to be your financial partner. It is important to find a financial institution that meets your needs. Whether you’re looking for a checking account, savings account, loan, or mortgage, we are here for YOU.

CREDIT UNIONS VS. BANKS
When you are deciding where to save and borrow, it can be hard to find the right place to start. Many don’t know the difference between a bank and a credit union. So, what is a credit union, anyway?

CREDIT UNIONS

Credit unions are unique because they are entirely member-controlled. When you become a Member of KTVAECU^®, you also get a say in the decisions we make. Your guidance helps keep us on the right track!

Structure/Philosophy — Not for profit, but for service.

Ownership — Member-owned and controlled.

Earning — All profits are returned to members in the form of new products, additional services, lower fees, and expanded locations.

BANKS

Banks are controlled by profits and shareholders. They are typically more “corporate,” meaning their decisions are made by boards and committees rather than their customers.

Structure/Philosophy — Banks are corporations which exist to earn a profit for shareholders.

Ownership — Shareholder (investor) owned and controlled.

Earning — All profits are distributed to the stockholders in proportion to the number of shares owned.

ADDITIONAL INFO

ADDITIONAL
INSURANCE COVERAGE

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)⁶ provides a little extra coverage beyond your auto insurance. If your vehicle is stolen or totaled, majority of insurance companies will only pay up to the book value of the vehicle, leaving you to pay the difference. GAP covers the difference between what the insurance company pays toward the loan, what is left of the loan balance, and the deductible up to $1,000.00. GAP through the Credit Union also provides $1,000.00 toward the purchase of a replacement vehicle if financed through the Credit Union within 90 days.

GAP can be added to any auto loan within one (1) year of the purchase date. To add GAP, call us at (865) 544-5400 or visit any branch!
