Credit unions are about common beliefs and taking control of your finances in cooperation with others that subscribe to the same goals and philosophies. While they might seem similar to a bank at the briefest of glances, there's so much more to discover upon a closer look.
Credit Unions Are Different, and Members Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way
Something huge happened this month worth a shout-out: Logix Community Stars Foundation has donated $1 million to local charities since 2007! We are elated and hit this mark because of your generosity!

Your Computer Is Infested with Viruses? Not So Fast.
Have you ever had a mechanic knock on your door to tell you that he was driving by, saw that your car wasn’t running correctly, and decided to come by and fix it? He helpfully takes apart your engine at your request, but then stops working and demands money to finish. You pay what he requested, he works a little more, but tells you more is broken than he thought and that he needs more money. This cycle continues until you stop giving him money, at which point you’re left with a disassembled car in your driveway and a lot less cash in your wallet than you started the day with.
What mechanic could know your car's repair needs simply from driving by? Moreover, why would the "repairs" happen in your driveway? If this situation sounds nonsensical, that's because it is. But, that’s basically the same idea as a common fraud technique: The PC cleaning scam.
Nearly everyone has a familiar face come to mind after hearing the word cancer. Your mother, sister, grandfather, best friend, co-worker…the list goes on. A cancer diagnosis can often be the beginning of a long, costly, and painful journey for those affected. More than 5 years ago, we partnered with SCV’s Circle of Hope, Inc., a non-profit charity, through our Logix Community Stars foundation. Circle of Hope provides financial assistance to cancer patients in need and offers emotional support, while educating cancer patients and their families. Given their values and contribution to our branch communities, it made sense for us to support their efforts.
