Consumers Credit Union Credit Cards

About Consumers Credit Union

Consumers Credit Union is a Michigan-based credit union with its headquarters in Oshtemo, MI. The credit union serves its members with a dedication to customer service excellence and industry-leading services.

Who Can Join Consumers Credit Union?

While Consumers Credit Union is based in Michigan’s lower peninsula, membership is open to anyone in the United States. If you’re interested in joining CCU, you must join the union’s Consumers Cooperative Association.

To join CCU, pay a one-time, non-refundable $5 fee to our sponsor, the Consumers Cooperative Association, and then deposit and maintain a minimum $5 in your Membership Share/Savings Account. That’s it! Pretty easy, huh?

CCU High Yield Rewards Checking

Consumers Credit Union offers many features you’d expect from a big bank, but with the exceptional, personalized service you expect from a credit union. This collection of products and services includes high-yield rewards checking account with an APY of up to 80X the national average.

The CCU Rewards Checking account offers several tiers of APY, with the basic account earning just 0.01% APY. Fortunately, the rewards rate climbs significantly, with 5% as the current top rate. You’ll need to meet spending and deposit requirements, however. Here are the tiers and the requirements to reach these tiers:

• Tier A: Enjoy an APY of 5% after meeting the Tier B requirements and spend at least $1,000 monthly on your Consumers Credit Union credit card.
• Tier B: Earn 4% APY after meeting the Tier C requirements and spending $500 monthly on your CCU Visa credit card account.
• Tier C: Earn 3% APY after making at least 12 debit card transactions each month with your CCU debit card. Transactions are applicable either with or without using your pin.

The up to 5% APY with CCU is among today’s best high yield checking products. Most banks offer an APY of 3% on a high-yield account, with the national average for a checking account resting at a measly 0.06% APY. That makes CCU’s rewards checking one of the best options for anyone who wants to save money using their debit or credit card.

Auto Loans

The credit union also provides extensive loan products, including mortgages, personal loans, and auto loans. Consumer Credit Union auto loans offer extremely competitive rates, with members enjoying access to loans without minimum credit requirements. Even better, you can pre-qualify for a CCU auto loan before applying.

CCU offers three auto loan types: used, new, and refinance. As with other banks, the best rates come for loans on new cars. However, used cars are also available for loans with the current cut-off date for a vehicle eligible for purchase set at 2016 models.

Mechanical Repair Coverage

Consumers Credit Union offers another form of automotive coverage: mechanical repairs coverage. Like a car warranty, this coverage deals with repair costs if your vehicle breaks down, needs replacement parts, or suffers another mechanical problem. Mechanical breakdown insurance, as it is also known, adds an extra layer of protection to your car’s insurance policy.

Here’s what mechanical repairs coverage covers:

Credit Cards

CCU also issues a range of credit cards using the Visa payment network. These credit cards provide competitive interest rates, lengthy 0% intro APR periods (where applicable), and lucrative points or cash back on select purchases – including groceries, gas, travel, and more.
