“How many years do I have to work to pay only the interest on my credit loan” is something we hear frequently from our customers. However, there are plenty of other alternatives to traditional financial lenders. Here, we present one of the most accessible options for our Latin community.

Many Latinos cannot access fair loans in the United States due to lack of documentation, credit history, or simply due to the lack of information. Thus, credit unions, which are nonprofit financial institutions that function similar to banks, were created to offer loans and checking and savings accounts with less hassle and more savings for us.

Because they are small entities, cooperatives generally work locally within a single county or state. Therefore, listed below are the best credit unions published in Stilt where Latinos can open bank accounts:
