	Credit Unions were created in 1933 as an alternative financial option to traditional banks. Developed on the principle of “people helping people”, credit unions offer all of the same products and services as traditional banks while never compromising their dedication to customer service and cultivating member loyalty There are key elements that differentiate credit unions from traditional banks: Membership Credit unions are not-for profit financial cooperatives serving members who have certain traits in common such as an employer or job type, membership in a particular association or even residence in a particular geographic area. Ownership Each member of a credit union is also an owner. This vested interest provides members with the unique opportunity to have a direct impact on the credit union’s financial and business decisions.
	As evidenced by its recent merger with Sharp Credit Union, Cabrillo Partners is dedicated to developing a cohesive, diverse network of credit unions that exhibit and promote the credit union difference. As a result of joining forces with Cabrillo Partners, Sharp Credit Union: Kept its name and identity Retained its employee and membership base Expanded its suite of products and services For the years to come, Cabrillo Partners will continue to develop its network of credit unions, never compromising its commitment to quality or, more importantly, its members.
