Once you become a member of Market USA, you remain a member for life - even if you change jobs, move or retire. Here are just a few ways your credit union can support you throughout your financial journey:
Market USA mourns the tragic and unnecessary death of George Floyd, as well as others, who have lost their lives due to racial violence. It's encouraging to see the peaceful demonstrations of intolerance of continued racism. As inequality continues to be a major issue in our society, I am hopeful that finally enough people are behind a positive change, so that we will see improvement and ultimately equality for all.
Market USA is committed to an environment for our members, staff, volunteer Board of Directors, and volunteer Supervisory Committee that demonstrates inclusion and diversity. The credit union movement's philosophy has always been "people helping people". As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are committed to serving our members equally and respectfully.
We stand in solidarity against injustice, racism, and discrimination.
Sincerely,
Laura Hassan
President/CEO
