We're proud to highlight this month's Durgin Center Spotlight Sponsor, Maine Savings Federal Credit Union.
With full-service locations across the great state of Maine, we exist to serve our members, not to make a profit. Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to members through lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower fees.
With over 35,000 members and more than $700,000,000 in assets, Maine Savings is among Maine’s largest credit unions. As a growing, modern financial institution, we can offer our members a full range of financial services and personalized solutions – in addition to the peace of mind that comes with knowing deposits are federally insured. Our commitment is always to provide unparalleled service and state-of-the-art banking convenience.
Maine Savings has been a valued supporter of our Agency throughout our time, having sponsored our Fall Breakfast, our Healthy Aging Expo, and provided valuable funding to our Meals on Wheels program.
