Debt Protection could cover or reimburse your loan payments up to the contract maximums in the event of disability or involuntary unemployment, either for the primary borrower or for those who are joint on the loan as cosigners. Life coverage could even cancel the remaining balance of your loan upon the borrower(s)’ death. When applying for an eligible loan, simply select your preferred Debt Protection coverage. . .

Credit unions support diversity, equity, and inclusion as a shared credit union cooperative principle and continue to have a responsibility and take a leadership role in building and serving more diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities.

Members are the owners of the credit union and contribute to its capital. Members, not shareholders, benefit from their credit union’s profits in proportion to their relationship and use of its products and services. As voluntary, not-for-profit financial cooperatives, we offer services to people willing to accept the responsibilities and benefits of membership, without discrimination.

Credit unions serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative principles by working with other cooperatives through local, state, regional, national, and international structures. In other words, unity is our credit union superpower!

Credit unions place particular importance on educational opportunities for their volunteer directors, and financial education for their members. Also, when making business deals or raising money, credit unions never compromise their autonomy or democratic member control.

Credit unions are democratic organizations owned and controlled by their members. While focusing on member needs, credit unions work for the sustainable development of communities, including people of modest means, through policies developed and accepted by the members.

In efforts driven by Visions employees, this year’s campaign (November and December 2023) benefitted more than 13 community organizations throughout their three-state footprint in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Season of Giving supports organization-wide projects in addition to regional and local initiatives that are championed by employees. Fifteen employees organized giveback projects, including donation drives for clothes, toys, gifts, and pet supplies that were then distributed by partnering organizations and nonprofits in Visions communities.
