What makes Arbor Financial special? It goes beyond our products and services, and reaches the foundation of who we are. Decades ago, we got our start meeting the needs of local teachers. Now, we provide A-plus financial services to over 44,000 members in Southwest Michigan. We got our start in 1935 as the Kalamazoo School Employees Credit Union. Our goal: to meet the financial needs of local educators. Since then, our mission has evolved, and we now provide services to all types of families and businesses across the state of Michigan. In 2016, we became Arbor Financial Credit Union. The new name was designed to change the perception that you had to be a teacher to join. With the reference to trees, we also wanted to reinforce our strong community roots and commitment to growth. Arbor Financial has twelve branches in Southwest Michigan. More than 44,600 people are Arbor Financial members. The credit union has $813,637,091 million in total assets.
