Credit unions in Nevada

Credit union: In Nevada, there are only 15 headquartered credit union offices. Those cooperatives operate over 100 active branch offices for their members. Those branches serve the 365,000+ Nevada residents that bank with a credit union. The largest credit union in terms of assets is Greater Nevada Credit Union. The largest in terms of members is One Nevada Credit Union, which serves over 75,000 members. Both have been serving Nevada residents for 70+ years. 

Like most states, credit unions in Nevada limit their membership based on specific criteria. Unlike other states, Nevada does not have as many credit unions that base membership on your employers or your profession. There are only a couple that use that as criteria for membership. Most credit unions in Nevada are community-based cooperatives. Outside of Las Vegas, most of the state is very rural and sparsely populated. These cooperatives work with those underserved populations. 

Car insurance: Car insurance in Nevada can be classified as expensive. Drivers are charged more than 26% of the national average. If you live near Las Vegas, expect to see an even bigger increase in your rates. Las Vegas residents can pay at least $500 more per year than other Nevada premium holders. When prices are already that high, you should be on the lookout for a good deal. Check with your credit union to see what discounts they offer members on auto insurance. 

Many credit unions partner with TruStage to offer plans to their members. TruStage is a reputable nationwide company that works with credit unions to provide discounted insurance policies to its members. Greater Nevada Credit Union operates its own insurance company. Through this entity, members can find discounted rates on all insurance products, including auto insurance. If your bank doesn’t offer coverage or a partnership with TruStage, see if they have agreements with local companies and brokers.
