Many of us use large banks to store money and make financial transactions, but have you ever considered switching to a credit union? Amy McGraw of Tropical Financial Credit Union told us about some of the differences and possible benefits of using a credit union.

The biggest difference is credit unions are not-for-profit. Because of this, they can offer lower fees and rates. Tropical Financial is also based in South Florida, so they understand the needs of local consumers.
