What are Capital Credit Checks?

Each month when you pay your Craw-Kan bill, it is not just payment for service, but an investment into a company that you are a member of. One of the many benefits of being a Craw-Kan member is receiving a Capital Credit check as a return on your investment, much like a dividend on piece of stock. As a member, you build equity in the cooperative each year you receive service. Member equity is the essential tool Craw-Kan uses to build, sustain, and upgrade the facilities necessary to provide you the reliable, low-cost services you have become accustomed to receiving. Retirement of Capital Credits is a return of member-furnished capital. Being a cooperative, after paying for all operating costs for the fiscal year, Craw-Kan’s Board of Directors vote on how much is returned to our members annually.
