About JHA

It’s three brands – Jack Henry Banking, Symitar, and ProfitStars offer seamless financial services to financial institutions of all sizes.

Credit Unions

A credit union is a kind of financial cooperative institution that offers traditional banking services to entities of all sizes. They are usually formed by large corporations and organizations for their members and are solely operated by their participants. What makes a Credit Union different from a traditional bank is its not-for-profit nature. They are not created to let the operators enjoy tax-exempt status.

Rather they run on a basic business model: Members pool their money by buying shares in the cooperative which in turn is utilized to provide loans, demand deposit accounts, and perform other financial operations. The income generated is used to fund projects and services to benefit the community and the interests of its members.

Credit Union Terminology

Associating with a Credit Union service requires knowledge of the following CU terminologies:

• Member: Customer availing Credit Union financial service
• Card: Credit card or debit card linked with a member account
• Share: Member’s personal investments on share purchase
• Loan: Similar to traditional loans that a customer lends from a bank
• Social Security Number: Unique identification number of a member
