WyHy vs. Traditional Banks: Key Differences
Credit unions like WyHy offer distinct advantages over traditional banks. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
- Who Owns WyHy? Credit unions are member-owned, meaning profits are returned to members in the form of better rates and services. Banks are shareholder-owned, meaning profits are distributed to stockholders, not customers.
- Lower Fees: WyHy offers lower fees for services like checking accounts and ATM withdrawals compared to traditional banks, which often charge higher fees.
- Customer Service: Credit unions typically provide more personalized customer service, focusing on building long-term relationships with members. Banks, on the other hand, can be more transactional in nature due to their size and business model.
- Community Involvement: Credit unions are often more engaged in local communities through charitable initiatives, sponsorships, and financial education, while banks prioritize profit maximization.

We’re more than just a credit union; we’re a part of the community. WyHy’s initiatives include:
- Free Financial Education: We offer free educational resources and workshops to help members and the community improve their financial knowledge and skills.
- Local Charitable Contributions: WyHy supports a variety of local nonprofits and causes that make a positive impact in Wyoming and surrounding areas.
