Why Kinecta?

Because We're Banking Done Different
Join Us

We’re More Than Great Rates!

Unlike banks that earn profits for their shareholders, credit unions reinvest our revenue to offer better rates for our individual and business members. That means Kinecta can pay higher dividends on the money you save. And we charge lower rates on your credit cards, home mortgage loans, vehicle purchases and so much more. 

But great rates are only the beginning. Because we’re smaller than the big banks, you matter more. Because we’re part of the community, we contribute more. And because you’re an owner as well as a member, you receive more benefits like discounts on products, services, and entertainment.

In short, Kinecta is a credit union that delivers everything you’d expect from a bank. And when you add outstanding service, great rates and special member benefits, you get something more. You get banking done different.
