CMCU has a minimum account opening of only $5 a month and offers a diverse range of banking products and services, making it attractive for customers wishing to have local relationship-based banking services.

However, potential members should be cautious due to having a low level of transparency about fees, lacking a public reputation, and having no track record of compliance. CMCU does not function as a trading broker and does not have trading platforms available or investment trading services. Future communication about the CMCU’s compliance records, fee schedules, and customer experiences will develop over the coming months and years as it develops as a credit union and grows.
