The Credit Union Difference
We’re not-for-profit and all for you
Advantis has served the Portland area since 1928. As a member-owned not-for-profit financial co-op, we return profits to our members - not to stockholders like the big banks do. So you enjoy better rates, lower fees, and more free services.
See for yourself how we're a better way to bank.
| Advantis | Banks | Our difference |
|---|---|---|
| Not-for-profit | For-profit | We return earnings to our members in the form of better rates, low fees and more free services. |
| Owned by its members | Owned by its stockholders | We exist to serve our member-owners, not to benefit corporate stockholders. |
| Financial co-op | Corporation | We strive to meet the common needs of our members by sharing ownership and making decisions democratically. |
| Board of Directors elected by & from the membership | Board of Directors elected by shareholders – not customers | We're governed by officials elected by and from the field of membership representing the interests of the co-op. Each member has one vote. |
