People First
Where you’ll notice a real difference is the people who serve you. As not-for-profits, credit unions are owned by their account holders like you (members) and joining is just a matter of opening your account. Credit union professionals delight in finding ways to support you along your financial journey.
Fun Fact: Members have voted CAP COM “Best Customer Service" and “Best Credit Union” in Capital Region Living’s Bestie Awards.
Member-Owned
One of our favorite things about being a credit union? Members own the place, YOU are the credit union’s top priority. You inspire every new product, every service enhancement, and every decision to keep serving you the best we can. At CAP COM, our mission is to “benefit every member, every time, every day.”
Not-For-Profit
How do we demonstrate our people-first focus? As not-for-profits, credit unions return surplus earnings to you in the form of great rates and low or no fees.
Community Outreach
Have you seen us around town? Credit unions are always out and about because community service is central to our people-first philosophy. Look for CAP COM’s “Dream Big” van and teams of volunteers wearing their CAP COM Cares shirts. We support hundreds of local initiatives and non-profit partners.
