Dear CardRatings.org,

First I would like to tell you that this is the best site that I have
found on credit cards.

My question, after viewing your site and all available Banks and
Financial institutions that you have why have you not included Federal
Credit Unions?

Dear Jim,

Thanks for your recent inquiry! We have not included credit union cards because credit unions, as I’m sure you probably realize, have a limited field of membership (i.e. membership is a credit union is limited and not open to the general public).

Having said this, though, I would also add that credit union credit cards are generally more attractive than bank credit cards in terms of interest rates and fees (see our “Dislaimer Info.” on the following page http://www.cardratings.org/rankings4.html ).
However, I have yet to see any credit union cards that have lower rates that the cards featured on our “Low Rate Report” (if you know of any, please post the details on this board).

I personally love credit unions…I belong to two credit unions and am a former credit union employee.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
