WyHy vs. Traditional Banks: Key Differences
Many people wonder how credit unions like WyHy compare to traditional banks. While both offer similar financial services, there are some important differences that set credit unions apart:

- Fees: Credit unions tend to have lower fees for services like checking accounts, ATM withdrawals, and overdrafts, while banks may charge higher fees and penalties.
- Customer Service: WyHy provides a personalized service that focuses on building strong relationships with our members, unlike banks that prioritize transactions.
