Yes. Credit unions can offer credit cards along with most or all of the services people typically associate with banks, such as checking accounts, loans, investment services, and business checking.

A credit card from a credit union works the same way as a credit card from a bank or financial institution. However, because credit unions are member-owned, they may charge lower rates and offer better rewards to satisfy member needs.
