We’re going to tell you an incredible story: the story where three teams, 11 branches, and all the communities in Michigan come together to meet your financial needs. We’ll start in 1936, the same year sunscreen was invented, Gone with the Wind was published, and Robert Redford was born. The enthusiastic Teachers’ Club of Midland County put in $50 towards the start of a cooperative. Donald Benfer, a passionate teacher, offered his junior high classroom for our first credit union office. Our story gathers momentum in 2012, when we joined forces with a trustworthy 64-year-old credit union created for the Clare Manufacturing Company and known for meeting members needs in Central Michigan. Fast-forward again to 2017, we began collaborating with Michigan’s oldest credit union established in 1926 by ten committed employees of the United States Postal Service. It doesn’t get any more vintage than that. Today, we are Members First Credit Union. We remain dedicated to supporting the communities that we’ve grown up in for over 80 years. We come to work every day because we want to help our members and communities. Imagine your perfect day. You’ve worked hard for this day and want it to be the best day ever. Does it involve suits and ties controlling your hard earned money, making it hard to save and even harder to spend? Or, are you at a farmer’s market with your family, shopping for a sweet ride, throwing the ball around the park, basically enjoying your time with the peace of mind that your credit union has your back? That what we want for you. On your perfect day, we want you to find your happy.
