Our Cross Street branch gives us another opportunity to show up, build relationships, and make sure the students, families and residents who walk through our doors know we are here for them.” said Tiffany Ford, Chief Executive Officer.
Beyond checking, savings, and lending, EMUCU offers financial education workshops and group learning sessions on topics like budgeting, building credit and managing debt. For students and residents looking for competitive rates on a home, vehicle or personal loan, the Cross Street branch is here to help. EMUCU members can get the exclusive Block E® debit card, available only from EMUCU.
“As an EMU graduate myself, I know how important it is for students and the community to have convenient access to financial services, along with the financial education they need to make confident decisions about their money. We’re proud to be a resource for students and residents as they navigate their finances today and build their financial futures,” said Marcus English, Chief Operations Officer and EMU alumnus.
