Q.

Why does the credit union pay you interest for putting money into your savings account?

A.

Interest is the extra money that the credit union gives you for saving your money at the credit union. Without interest, people wouldn't want to spend the time and energy to deposit money in the credit union. The credit union wants to lend your money to other members. Yes, your money will become a loan for another member.
