We admit it: Our owners' greedy motives EXPOSED. (Denver Community Credit Union ad)

http://www.denvercommunity.coop (that's dot coop, like cooperative) presents a new concept in advertising: BLUNT HONESTY

Look, we don't want you to become a member because credit unions offer lower rates and fees (although we do) and we don't want you to become a member because credit unions are great for the community (although we are!). We want you to become a member because our owners get more money every time somebody new joins.

Why can we be so honest about that? Because every person with an account at Denver Community Credit Union is also an owner of Denver Community Credit Union and has an equal share, vote, and cut of the profits. Make our owners rich today...become one!

The Marketing Department at Denver Community Credit Union apologizes for any instance in which we have insinuated that we are in business for any other reason than to make our owners money.

Wow, this is a gutsy message. People should join credit unions by appealing to their selfish sides? That's not why credit unions were created...
